Put me firmly in camp 1. It’s a significant diversion & it seems sketchy as hell. If we had 100 of them how would we feel? I think the answer is awful.

That’s enough to justify the scale part of the appeal.

If we had a hundred of them I'm still not clear that there would be a significant environmental impact purely from the draw.

(From the factory footprints on the lakeside, sure!)

We're agreed about the Foxconn project in general. I'm just crusading against Michigan water supply alarmism.
