When my colleague @maxrn.bsky.social discovered fmr NYC Mayor Eric Adams had been hired to convince Wisconsin residents to allow a 150MW data center to be built at the site of an old paper mill, we had MANY questions.

So Max headed to Wisconsin Rapids to answer them. His delightful dispatch here:
Eric Adams Promised to Pitch a Wisconsin Data Center With 'Rigor.' His Failure Was Spectacular

#Wisconsinhashtag/WisconsinRapids" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#WisconsinRapids isn’t done with this #DataCenter fight.

The Planning Commission voted 𝟳–𝟬 to recommend denial, but the developer can potentially come back. 🤨

Meanwhile, the city’s 12-month data center #moratorium gets a public hearing Oct. 5.

That clock matters. 👀

#WisconsinRapids lost nearly 1,000 mill jobs. The proposed $600M #DataCenter offers up to 𝟳𝟬 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 while 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟭𝟱𝟬 𝗠𝗪 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿. 🤨

That isn’t replacing the mill. It’s replacing the power draw.
