Dear DEQ,

I oppose the numerous exceptions that are being granted to the AI ecosystem. When Virginia passed the VCEA, we made a plan to become 100% renewable by 2045. This law benefits not just those with chronic illness that may be exacerbated by burning dirty fuel, but also those who see Virginia as their home, people who cannot easily escape the effects of climate change. The companies running these data centers spend billions on innovation--- they could find a way to support their AI ecosystems if it weren't cheaper to simply buy the government off
