The Rappahannock River is not an especially large waterway and water resources in general are not infinite. It would be useful to know how proposed allocations for data center line up with available resources and current permitting, which carefully considered both instream and offstream uses.
@Eric Bonds - very good story, sir...thank you!!! Could you consider a follow up story to share the FOIA process, please? I'd like to see similar data for Louisa County as AWS and local boards try to hide details by default. The new proposed power line from Joshua Falls in Campbell County to Yeat in Culpeper County (ref: https://vltransmission.com/joshua-falls-to-yeat/) will look to further exploit rural counties east of the Blue Ridge by providing power to yet-to-be-disclosed data centers - we need to collectively fight at every angle.

Fantastic piece, and fantastic puncturing of the "trade secret" wall. Thank you for your tenacity.
