Data Center Generator’s
 

I am highly opposed to generators running for data center power on demand. These data centers shouldn’t even be here in the quantities that are popping up, much less spewing pollution the entire time. Let’s think about need vs wants… these things are NOT a need and are poisoning our environment as it is. This is only the cherry on top of a huge pile of crap but NO TO CONTINUOUS GENERATOR OPERATION. THINK ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR  CHILDREN’S CHILDREN, IF WE EVEN MAKE  IT THAT LONG. WERE DESTROYING WHAT CANNIT NOT BE TAKEN BACK. NO TO GENERATORS!!!!!!!! NO TO DATA CENTERS!!!!!
