Control data center pollution & energy use/limit data centers in the Commonwealth of VA!
 

As a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I protest any move that the government of our state, in this case, DEQ, would make to lessen regulation and control of pollution outputs by data centers. Additionally, I would like to see increased public safety regulations of data centers. Additionally, there NEED to be limits to new data center construction in our Commonwealth. People are more important than computers! We do not want a crash of our electrical systems for computer ai use! Thank you in advance!
