Do NOT ALLOW the constant running of diesel generators (only allow in emergency situations)
 

I believe that diesel generators should ONLY run data centers in Emergency Situations. Please protect our Air Quality and restrict the use of the diesel generators.

in fact please incentivize the creation of cleaner running data centers in general.
