The local government sees $$$ (or gets out-and-out bribed) and so they sign off on it. After all, why should they care if some plebeians have their electric bill go up?

To be fair, several local governments have shot these down. One in Arizona just voted 7-0 to not let one in. But they’re so sneaky and so free with money a lot of governments just let them slide in without residents even knowing.

Recycling the cooling water in a closed system. Which they totally can do, and works as well if not better, but it costs more money to set up, y’see.

Other than that, I got nothing

A ‘removed’?
