## Resource

Colorado Springs stands at a pivotal moment as it debates Project Taurus, a massive AI-powered data center poised to devour thousands of homes’ worth of electricity and strain the state’s water resources amid drought. While proponents tout economic gains and national security ties, residents rally against noise, environmental costs, and long-term energy burdens. With neighboring cities already enacting water-saving rules and experts scrutinizing cooling tech and accountability measures, the City Council’s upcoming vote could shape Colorado’s future approach to tech infrastructure — balancing innovation with community and ecological responsibility.
