Data centers and diesel
 

It’s unfortunate that we’re still discussing data centers as positive information about them is being outpaced by negative.  The effect of inhaling diesel fumes on respiratory systems is documented with a possible link to cancer. Data centers are detrimental to financial health, environmental health, physical health and mental health. They don’t belong in Virginia.
