Proposed Increase to Data Center Diesel Generator Use
 

Data centers are a blight on this beautiful region, but if the must be here they should operate as sustainably as possible. The climate impact of the air quality, the water usage, the power grid—all of it is disgustingly immoral. Corporate interests lay waste to the country side and its people, all to make a buck. Please do not increase diesel use.
