Kudos to the IWV Community for banding together in solidarity to bring this large water-consuming RB Inyokern Data Center to the attention of the right leadership.
If you are still looking for more numbers and information or haven't yet signed and shared a petition in opposition, I just updated the water consumption estimates and heat island impacts based on further research here: https://c.org/6TQ24tVMy4
Please share widely if you haven't already - almost up to 1,000 signatures! Shows the decision-making agencies how important this issue is to us.
Also if you haven't yet submitted your personal e-comments the California Emissions Commission, this will great help a good start to the process, link: https://www.energy.ca.gov/.../bac.../rb-inyokern-data-center
