A Data Center at the Former Crystal Geyser Site?

Updated community briefing on the former Crystal Geyser site and an unconfirmed data-center inquiry.
Independent civic work. This page does not speak for any tribe, government, department, elder, family, or institution. Verify time-sensitive details with official sources.

Status: unconfirmed. There is no formal data-center proposal, named company, or application for the former Crystal Geyser site. The property is publicly marketed for heavy industrial uses that include a data center; the reported exploratory inquiry remains unconfirmed.

Plainly: the right time to ask about cooling design, water demand, power demand, public review, and local burden is before a proposal becomes locked in.

Updated Community Briefing

A data center at the former Crystal Geyser site?

What changed

This updated briefing is a fuller, more neutral community resource. It separates public-record facts from the unconfirmed inquiry and walks readers through the history of the site, possible benefits, risks, positions, and contacts.

First question

How would it be cooled? Evaporative cooling, closed-loop cooling, and air cooling can create very different water and power demands for Mt. Shasta and the surrounding region.

Read the updated briefing

This replaces the shorter early brief as the best public doorway into the issue. The older brief remains useful as a first-alert document, but the updated briefing is the fuller community reference.
