Dave! We’ve seen time and again with air pollution, traffic jams from ill advised developments. Lately in St Paul with the urbanization of what once was the Ford Plant and now is dense commercial residential development overlooking the Might Miss. River. Keep on this story! daz

Crazy to waste so much fresh water in a time of planetary drought to manufacture chips for devices designed to spy on us.

Interesting whenever these big deals are launched, the conversation is typically one-sided.

Whatever happened to the Twin Springs dam proposal? Can we get Micron to pay? Or China?

No more permits for new or deeper will be allowed. Any ordinary well within miles of this will be dry. The mayor will blame too much suburbia green grass. And just like they refuse to finger micron for air pollution contributions, they won’t dare discuss the amount of water they pull from the ground. It’s a shocking amount. In fact the available clean water is a big part of why Micron built here the first time they dry up the wells many years ago. This won’t free us from China. China will move here and pay too much for housing.
