Amazon Guarantees Bitterly Contested Ohio Wind Farm Project
3rd November 2016
Amazon has taken on a stalled wind farm project in Ohio to power its data centres because, as we all know, intermittent and flaky power supplies dependent entirely on the randomness of the weather are just what mission-critical data centres need.
Indeed.
Another local paper, the Urbana Citizen, reports that opposition to the farm was so strong that it was dragged up to the Ohio Supreme Court before being dismissed in December last year after Everpower reportedly reached a settlement with disgruntled residents not to build 60 of the planned 170 turbines.
Who cares about the locals, when we’ve got the Narrative?
