If we care about our children, don't change diesel generator rules
 

I urge the DEQ to stand down their proposal, of wanting to change the rule of disel generators on Data Centers. How many more reports of not just climate concerns but environtmental concerns do we need to have brought to us to take the livelihood of not just our lives, but our entire ecosystem that depends on holding ourselves accountable as humans and humanity? We are setting up future generations for failure if we really think this would be an appropriate answer for "sustainability" when it comes to a tech entity that is already notorious for putting the financial burden of tax payers, on an infrastructure that majority of the population does not want. 

Please make the right decision and do not go forward with this, or we really do not stand a chance in sustaining a healthy future for all walks of life, which we as humans, also depend on their well-being to support our life force.
