    Idk if this is the same event, but there were some tech bros that wanted to put up a crytpo mining facility in Cedar Falls that went through a similar process. I hate AI and the environmental impacts of data centers, but crypto has nothing redeeming, where at least occasionally AI gets it right.

    There are a couple going up around Cedar Rapids that seemed to get through very quickly. Now they’re talking up reopening the Palo nuke plant to build and power a third.

    This is the worst timeline.
