I’ve been in commercial real estate development for 35 years and can assure any doubters that this is not a new thing. Activists can render a project still born on the thinnest pretense. This is an egregious example of their objections lacking any basis in fact, or reality.
I’m also in Virginia, where the data center debate has moved to the legislature trying to undo the tax deals that created the industry in the first place. That’s another story, but I sense change in the air. People are finally paying attention to who’s behind the lawfare, and how the corruption machine takes dollars out of pockets- theirs. Your piece is an excellent takedown of the charade.
I just found you in the past week or so and so glad I did. This is what journalism is supposed to look like.
I found Mr. Muse's Substack some short time ago, and have been so impressed by the breadth of his interests and the depth of his research, as revealed in these essays.
I've been wondering how he can sustain his near-phenomenal rate & quality of production, ...and yet, still, maybe, have a "real" life outside of X and Substacking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By "Democrat" you mean, of course, CCP. From Feinstein, Swalwell, Cuomo, Hochul, etc. Even going back to Bill Clinton and the Loral Missile Deal that sold our missile guidance tech to China.
What legal standing does the Southern Environmental Law Center, headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, working with Earthjustice, headquartered in San Francisco have to sue in Memphis, TN?
Fascinating. I knew nothing of this. With respect to donations of a political or regulatory nature, whether “non-profit” or not, we need to start to insist on total transparency.
As a senior Texas native I’d just like to say that you really are something else. Well done! Thanks for all the work you put into your writing. You are making a difference.
I worked as a chemical analyst in Memphis for a company called Velsicol Chemical in 1972. Talking about pollution. . . The company created chlorinated hydrocarbons, chlordane and heptachlor. They ionized salt into sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. The company closed doors not long after I left. I can only imagine the cleanup that required.
Sometimes these people (whoever they are) seem like my youngest sister. Take any situation and list the choices and my sister will pick the absolute worst one. Every. Single. Time. It would be funny if not so tragic. For some national and international issues, if Trump is for it then you know that there will be tons of people who are against it, the reason unimportant. For something like this I am really scratching my head. Is it that these environmental groups are just always a no, no matter what? Is it that they don’t trust?
Great piece, with receipts.

DR, brilliant comment! 🎯🎯🎯
This has been going on since Bill Clinton sold sensitive U.S. ICBM tech to China for a paltry $1 million donation to the DNC.
Democrats are a subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party.

I figured you knew about Chinagate. Again: CCP == Democrat Party for 30 years and counting.

So, can Elon save Memphis from itself? Maybe. Pretty late in the game. But maybe.
President Trump cleaned up crime with Kash Patel. That was the first step. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-claims-fbi-deployment-reduced-memphis-crime-city-faces-potential-national-guard-intervention

Interesting angle. Thank you for writing this up.
"Green" is not an environmental term; it is a political label.
