Pollution  caused by diesel motors/generators is well known and documented.  Adding hundreds of huge diesel motors exhaust contamination to a community can be devastating to air quality and environment.  Data centers had the opportunity to use solar energy and backup battery storage to provide emergency standby power for their centers but they did not.  Communities surrounding the data centers should not have to suffer poor air quality and noise pollution because of the data centers poor planning and lack of concern for the local communities.

Please deny any request to operate these generators for any extended period of time not currently allowed.

Respectfully,

Mike O'Brien, Colonel, US Army, Retired
