  PROs   CONs
Short term economic growth during the build phase of the data centers. Extreme demand for electrical power could tip the grid into being unreliable or unavailable.
  Fossil fuel use would accelerate leading to exasperation of climate change.
  Extreme demand for fresh water could cause conflicts in drought prone areas.
  Foreign ownership would have direct access to people's data.
  Constant noise, higher electricity rates, water impacts, and land impacts could ruin the enjoyment of their properties for many home owners.
  Once the data centers are up and running, very few jobs will remain to run the centers. Many of these jobs are low skilled, such as groundskeepers.
