We can stop this, we have to do it together.” Citizens began the meeting voicing their concerns about AI overall, including the fear of replacing jobs and potential security threats. One citizen echoed Tomanek’s sentiments, invoking her faith in her criticism, “I read my Bible … I see what’s coming. If everything in this (proposed data center) that we’ve been hearing about was up-and-up on the level, and there was no problem with the environment, that is not our biggest issue. It’s the dark, overhanging Satanic thing of AI, that’s going to be in our lives, whether we want or not.” That same citizen went on make a point about the data center as a political issue going forward,
