AOC Holds Up Jar of Dirty Water Claiming It’s What Morgan County, Georgia Drinks Now Because of a Da

[American Girl]

Excerpt:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is at it again.

The congresswoman from New York held up a jar of murky, dirty water during a recent appearance and claimed it’s what residents in Morgan County, Georgia, are now forced to drink because of a data center in the area.

She presented it as proof that big tech and data centers are destroying local water supplies.

Here’s the clip:


AOC must be trying to set a personal best in stupid.

She needs more treatment than that "water"...

That sh*t is on D.C. Their pipe, their poop.

By the time you hit the Chesapeake, the water is brackish--too salty to drink.

Note to self...Chesapeake Bay oysters are off the menu for awhile.... well they have been for a few decades now.

Not to drink, but don't animals live in the bay that you eat? Like crabs?

Or are crabs able to filter out that bad stuff and can still be eaten?

I know we close shrimping along the Gulf Coast when the red tide is present.

If the oyster bars are not contaminated with fecal coliform or other contaminants, they may be safe.
But when you eat an oyster, you eat the digestive tract, too, basically all of the critter but the shell.
Crabs and fish will pick up some of what is in the water, it just depends on how much is trapped by the tides and for how long. Unlike the filter feeders, crabs have an intestinal tract that is only eaten in fried soft crabs, not steamed hard crabs, so they may be safer. Many of the fish in the Potomac and tributaries are now descendants of the catfish released into the Rhappahannock River in Virginia with the idiotic expectation they would stay there. They did not and are an invasive species in the Potomac and tributary estuaries, and I would expect the Chesapeake Bay as well.

So here's the deal.  People in Morgan County rely on well water, not municipal water.  So muddy water is a normal occurrence after heavy rainfall.  But it also occurs after massive soil movements during construction.  Which brings us to the data center.  Yes, construction of the data center caused disruptions in local water quality.  But this was in Newton County, not Morgan County.  And construction ended four years ago.  The issue now (for Newton County) is that the data center now consumes half a million gallons per day from Newton County water.

Now, back to Morgan County.  There is a massive construction project now ongoing in the county.  But it isn't a data center.  It is electric vehicle maker Rivian, a company that AOC vociferously supports with our tax dollars.  The jar of muddy water she held up was due to Rivian.

The frightening thing is she's likely to run for president and even more frightening is that there are a whole lot of stupid people that will vote for her.
