I'm reaching out with an urgent concern about the proposed AI data center, known as Project Taurus, being built near the beautiful Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. While the futuristic idea of AI is intriguing, this project comes with substantial consequences that directly threaten our community's very necessities—our water supply.

Colorado Springs is currently in a phase 3 drought, battling low water reservoirs. We are already under significant pressure, with rising utility costs during peak hours thanks to Colorado Springs Utilities. Introducing an AI data center, which would consume vast amounts of water and energy, is not just impractical—it's unsustainable and downright dangerous for our future.

The reality is stark: if Project Taurus gets built, we risk crippling our local resources further. We're talking about depleting drinking water—an essential resource for life and well-being. All for the benefit of what? A corporate interest that seems more focused on profit than preserving the community.

We need your voice to help us safeguard our resources. This isn't just a local issue; it's a fight for sustainable living that affects everyone, whether you reside in Colorado Springs or not. This AI center is not in the community's best interest, and we must make our opposition clear.

Join me in this critical movement to halt Project Taurus. Let's call for a stop to putting corporate needs above environmental preservation and community welfare. Please sign this petition to protect Colorado Springs' water and ensure a sustainable future for all our residents.
