Protect Air Quality!
 

Virginia is known for its beauty. We have beautiful mountains and trees that need to be protected. Excessive use of diesel generators goes directly against that. Data centers already take away from our vistas. Do not let them also subtract from our air quality. Protect our air quality! Regulate the usage of diesel engines at data centers.
