I Oppose Allowing Data. Enters to Pollute with Dirty Generators
 

It makes no sense  and it would constitute a deadly assault on public health to allow data centers to use traditional diesel and natural gas generators that release harmful pollutants and particulates into our atmosphere.  You should place human health above the data centers’ desire to place profit above proper human health protections.  After all, your sole purpose of existence is to protect our air and water ensuring that we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink.
