As a mother of children with special needs and asthma I wish you would deny this special permit. The acute health effects are too great for my sensitive family and many other sensitive groups.
Data centers are built with redundancy as well as the ability to monitor and suppress energy down to the individual tower rack in each building. They can throttle power efficiently and this should be the solution, not an environmental hazard. I am sure the quest for solutions other than diesel generators will bring about innovation and efficiency from the data center industry.
