interesting is that they are getting over 100 million in refunds, while using so much electricity and water which the state is essentially subsidizing.

Agate LLC reports expecting a refund of $55,822,472 from 2025 taxes. Fireball LLC is expecting a refund of $39,171,573.39 from 2025 taxes. Westwood Solutions LLC, the Google-owned data center in Omaha, is expecting a refund of $22,558,881 from 2025 taxes.

That's like 1 million per job created! A steal for sure!

Amazing how something that creates literally nothing can make so much money. Well it creates pain and suffering I guess. Worth it.
