DEQ Must stop Data Center Diesel Expansion
 

The health of our citizens should be top priority to the DEQ and Virginia.

Diesel expansion for Data Centers must be stopped.  Data Centers must provide their own electricity and use Green energy of solar and battery back ups vs dirty diesel fuels.

They can’t dirty up our clean air that we all came out to the county to experience.  This is out of hand and just pouring more diesel on the problem will not solve what is needed which is not allowing Data Centers to overwhelm residents in Northern Virginia with cleaning up their pollution.  

We want Clean Air and we vote!  Stop this madness!
