Opposed to diesel generators
 

I am opposed to the use of diesel generators at data centers.  It is bad enough that with all that is known about the detrimental effects of data centers - noise, noise, noise, impacts on air and water, increased energy costs borne by the public, etc. - that diesel generators should be considered at all.   Say "no" to diesel generators!
