…the united states has grown. We all know this. In loudoun county it is different. That growth rate is based mostly on increased demand for data center growth with the loudoun county being the largest data center market in the U.S. You can see from this graph a couple of jobs from 2018 to 2023. About a 230% increase fo…
…unty it is different. That growth rate is based mostly on increased demand for data center growth with the loudoun county being the largest data center market in the U.S. You can see from this graph a couple of jobs from 2018 to 2023. About a 230% increase for a projection to 2028 to 24 dead 240%. It is another 240%. I…
…w how many substations we need for that? that information is actually outside of the purview of this particular cpam. I know as part of the data center cpam, they are actually looking at substations as part of that. That information should be available there. I do not have that information off the top of my head. I thi…
…are not provided by developers. Because a lot of them aren't provided on the sites. that topic will be addressed as part of phase 2 of the data center cpam. . Dominion, I am in support of passive trails on the right- of-way, but dominion, I read this very long letter from dominion. They said they said it is a conflict…
…n, one of their engineers was, if pennsylvania holes to its promise to build more power plants to provide power along transmission lines to data centers in southern virginia, north carolina and georgia, is there anything we can do to say no to a whole additional transmission line corridor through loudoun? once again, t…
…o think about the whole entire county, but quite honestly, loudoun county is writing a check at camp cash. You have promised all these A.I. Data centers that they can come in here and that they can do this, but you can't provide the infrastructure. The only answer to this is to put everything underground. That is the o…
…le entire point of building more houses! If you just remove them all. The only way to really fix this , if you still want to go on with the data centers, which there is absolutely too many of, what you need to do is put everything underground, completely underground. From where all, all the way over where the mountain…
…at will allow you to have both the power lines and the houses without having to deal with losing both. And, and overall, with the, how many data centers there are, if you look at how A.I. Is expanding, it's going to, the bubble's going to pop soon. It's just a matter of time. If you keep on predicting stuff that might…
…er of time. If you keep on predicting stuff that might or might not happen, you might spend billions of dollars putting all these lines and data centers in on something that might not even happen. If you really think about it, why would you spend so much money on something you don't even know 100% is going to happen? Y…
…an't do directly. There is a solution to the energy crisis, which was created by the virginia clean air act and the, and the development of data centers. You must underground trance I paid technology. You have one in southern, southern loudoun at mosby. PRESIDENT Trump has recently said, if you haven't seen what he has…
…n at mosby. PRESIDENT Trump has recently said, if you haven't seen what he has said, that the tech giants must pay their own way to powered data centers. According to trump, the company's sucking every drop of electricity possible from america's grid must pay their own way. Underground the lines on state roads, county…
…roads, not private property, and stop raising the cost of electricity by approving overhead lines. If you want to accommodate power to the data centers, under grounding is the only way, because there should be no opposition. You must make the data companies pay. For example, in frederick county, virginia, -- had a 400…
…ast night I actually had a whole team of dominion engineers there, and I suggested, how are you going to get the hvdc line to mosby out the data center alley with the use? The answer I got from dominion a few weeks ago when I asked that question was, we're going to convert it to hvac and move it onto the existing overh…
…d by the dominion team that there is currently no technology that can step down the 765 volt hvdc when it arrives at the terminus where the data centers are. So they would, they had to step it down so that the data centers can access that power, and right now, there's no, there's no technology that can do that to the e…
…step down the 765 volt hvdc when it arrives at the terminus where the data centers are. So they would, they had to step it down so that the data centers can access that power, and right now, there's no, there's no technology that can do that to the extent that the, you have to step it down on site where the data center…
…power, and right now, there's no, there's no technology that can do that to the extent that the, you have to step it down on site where the data center is. I question that, not that I doubt that, I'm not an engineer, but I think where there's a will, there's a way, and we certainly have a whole lot of well right now. S…
…eed for electrical infrastructure. So I don't know what that looks like, but I think this action will be something that we explore with the data center location and standards phase two that we're working on, and, and bringing the experts together at our energy innovation forum to talk about what's, what's possible. You…
…you know, those are part of the picture of transmission lines, especially with high load users, and that'll be part of my understanding the data center uses or location and standards phase two. So I just want to let residents know that we are doing a lot of other initiatives to really be innovators in energy and innova…
…we're trying to do is do something different, and, and get ahead of it instead of reacting to it. Because whether anybody up here once the data center or not, they're coming. Most of them are built in this ounty, were built by wright without anybody up here ever voting for them. And whether we want more power lines or…
