Everyone saw that Kotek’s political stunt didn’t stop the Verrus data center in Salem, right?

Today on Volts: Verrus wants to build data centers that use very little water, run quietly, and rely on giant batteries rather than diesel or natgas generators, which can make them grid assets that help reduce power prices. It hasn't overcome local opposition. I talk with the CEO.
How to build a more flexible, quieter, less obnoxious data center

Fascinating @volts.wtf interview w Verrus, a data center firm trying to fo it right.
As somebody who's pro data center revolt but very open to data centers done right:
Verrus is as unsophisticated about people -- especially about what it takes to rebuild trust -- as they are smart about tech

Today on Volts: everyone is bracing for the impact of big, inflexible data centers on the grid. But what if they could be good grid citizens? I talk with a startup, Verrus, that is building a flexible data center, ie, a data center that can ramp up & down, go on & off grid power, as the grid needs.

Update: Verrus says it still intends to build its Salem data center.
After howls of outrage from Salem residents, Kotek canceled the sale of 32 acres of stand land for a planned $5 billion data center.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the governor's action will kill the project. Her office didn't specify what authority Kotek has to block the land sale.

The company is Verrus, aka Google, and unfortunately they have skirted the moratorium thanks to our city working with them under cover of darkness (an NDA) for 16 months. We have a corrupt mayor. Beware, coming to a town near you. Get proactive and make sure your city bans them before they arrive.

UPDATE:
Gov Kotek halted the use of public land. The company Verrus still wants to build in Salem but a building moratorium hearing will happen next week and Salem wants to follow Hillsboro with a ban on all new data centers. If you live in Oregon call your rep!

This kind of detail isn't something I tend to do as a worldbuilder. I can say, however, one of the dungeon gang, Verrus, was a mercenary and soldier for 30 years. He knew and was his fair share of commanders. Each and every one were petty tyrants wrangling squads of bastards.

Hello, #JanuaryWorldbuilders! We're doing military/warfare week in our fictional worlds. Do any of your armies have a notable general or commander? Who are they and what are they like? Are they well-respected or feared by their soldiers? How strategic are they?

The dungeon crawler gang don't have anything fancy. Verrus has a 1h hefty arming sword with a diamond-shaped tip. Lyza has a battered old mace with thick flanges. Sutch is an invoker but hides it, he's used for his knowledge. Nettie doesn't carry a weapon, she works locks.
