We own and operate a childcare center that we built near residential and retail areas.  The absurdity of PWC BOCS has resulted in 5 or 6 massive data centers being built within 1 mile of our school.  Not only was this NEVER part of the plan for this part of the county, but neither was powering these monstrosities with 19th century technology via dirty diesel generators.  From the transportation of the fuel, to its onsite storage, to the various pollutants these generators spew into the air, there is no excuse to make a bad decision worse by allowing primary power to result in massive, localized pollution, and risks to the community (innumerable trucks carrying the fuel) and potential groundwater contamination. 
The DEQ is supposed to protect citizenry from EXACTLY this type of ridiculousness.  But, hey we know they need the power and Dominion Energy can't generate or distribute, so what are you to do?  How about this?:
Fuel Cell technology, like that of Bloom Energy, can take advantage of existing natural gas distribution AND ultimately run on hydrogen without any additional costs, resulting in less pollution and less risk to the health and safety of nearby residents.   If these data center developers are willing to pay $2M+ per acre and drive-up costs of goods and services in the area, they certainly can afford 21st century technology for their 21st century data centers.
