Your action kit
Sourced arguments and ready-to-send letters — every figure links to a primary record. Edit to add your own story.
100 MW of new demand — roughly a city of 80,000 homes.
Large new loads can raise transmission and capacity costs that land on every ratepayer. Residential power in WI is 18.8¢/kWh, up 5.9% year-over-year. (MW→homes is a rough ~800/MW planning figure.)
SourceDemand a full, public review — not a rubber stamp.
Ask for an independent noise study, a water-and-power impact assessment, enforceable conditions (setbacks, hours, cooling type), and that the record stays open for written comment. Procedural shortcuts have voided approvals elsewhere.

Grid & water — why here
source: HIFLD · EPAThe closest existing grid infrastructure and the municipal water system this location sits in — the same constraints the buildout model screens on (it won't site a campus more than ~2 km from a substation or ~5 km from municipal water). Distances are straight-line to public HIFLD/EPA features, not a metered connection.
