In this episode, hosts Shelly Brown and TR Mahle sit down with former Greene County Commissioner and retired military veteran Mike Belding to clear the air regarding one of the most talked-about topics in our community currently: the proposed Robena Data Center.
The historic Robena Coal Mine site is entering a new chapter under the ownership of International Electric Power, and with that change comes many questions. Mike joins us to separate social media misconceptions from the documented facts, emphasizing that even in a changing world, “the facts still matter.”
In this episode, we discuss:
The “Bring Your Own Power” Model: Discover how the center plans to generate its own electricity using natural gas, ensuring that local residents won’t see an increase in their utility bills or a strain on the local grid.
Water & Environment: Mike breaks down the data on resource usage, including the fact that the center’s daily consumption represents only about one minute’s worth of the nearby river’s flow.
Community Concerns: We have an honest conversation about noise and light pollution, property values, and the legitimate concerns of neighbors in an area with no township zoning.
Economic Opportunity: The potential for 100 to 200 long-term, family-sustaining jobs right here in Greene County.
A Call to Action: Why “out of the box” thinking is required for our county to thrive, and how residents can form committees to ensure their voices are heard as this project moves forward.
