The DEQ has the chief responsibility of caring for our environment and quality of life.  This proposal for diesel backups merely caters to a very rich and powerful group for their own monetary purposes and overrides all reasonable attention to the goals of the DEQ.  We are overrun with data centers now and no idea what will happen to them in the future.  Supreme care must be taken to assure that the very people who live in these areas are protected in the air they breathe, and the water they drink and the sound they must live with. They are what matters.  We are what matters.  Please stop this now before we are unable to unwind the damage.

Thank you,

Jenny Jeffress
