Competing data center regulations

The Colorado Legislature is considering 2 competing data center regulation bills.  House Bill 1030 is a bill backed by data centers that would incentivize compliancee with state regulations in exchange for tax breaks.

In contrast, Senate Bill 102 is backed by local community groups and contains no incentives, instead imposing regulations including complying with local water rules, renewable energy sources, backup generator requirements, and local impact assessments.
