Not sure why this is being downvoted. If you noticeably distort the local economy then people are naturally going to want to know what resources you're consuming.

but trade secrets

I think all data centers and other industrial concerns above a certain size should have to publish that.

The irony is that it is unlikely datacenters would hit that "above a certain size"

The hysteria always gives datacenter usage numbers in a vacuum, never a comparison, for good reason; we might have to start protesting golf courses and paper mills instead.

Industrial use should never get to hide. It’s such impactful use so every aspect should be scrutinized.

You have some very motivated people with deep pockets who do not like negative press. Say anything negative and the downvotes will roll in.

Surely the people who have worked in tech, with datacenters or even in them for decades are wrong, and the people who learned the word "datacenter" 6 months ago are right.
