The High Resource Bill
High‑resource plants must tell communities their water use
Revenue and taxation; require certain high resource use facilities to provide disclosures regarding community impact and energy and water usage
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, big factories would have to share how much water and energy they use and how they affect the neighborhood before getting tax breaks or permits.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see the true cost of water‑heavy projects and push back if they harm the community, while companies may face extra paperwork and slower approvals.
