A former Democratic senator once known for a purported “independent streak” now says she is working “hand in glove” with the Trump administration to force communities to allow the construction of energy-devouring artificial intelligence data centers.

As reported by YourValley.Net, former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) recently attended a planning and zoning commission meeting in the city of Chandler, Arizona, in which she warned local officials that a massive data center would be built in their community whether they wanted it or not.

According to YourValley.Net, Sinema was at the meeting to advocate for plans created by New York-based developer Active Infrastructure to construct a massive 420,000-square-foot data center in the city.

And she belongs to the Active Infrastructure and goes in and basically says do it or else to the citizens of the state of Arizona.............there are not to many sources of water in Arizona ............she really is a despicable person................ someone should have got up and said something even if it meant getting escorted out.............
