What This Piece Will Cover
- Arguments for: modern cooling, recycled water, alternative cooling, and economic return.
- Arguments against: drought, growth, competing demand, and unknown future usage.
- What public reporting should include.
- Which numbers matter, and which numbers can mislead.
- Questions residents should ask before and after approval.
