The way to regulate that impact is with a wellhead severance tax, though. The whole fact of the data center is incidental.

I agree, that'd be a great way to approach things. The problem is a lot of the regulators are instead looking at doing tax breaks for these data centers when they should be taxing them (and other businesses) for the externalities of the problems they'll cause.
