I am writing as a citizen of Prince William County who lives off of Devlin Road in Bristow and as someone who will be directly impacted by the adverse health events that will occur if this passes. I have been hesitant to comment as history has shown us that the law makers do not care about the well being of those of us who have our homes surrounded by data center development. All of the meetings I have spoken and letters I have written have all been futile I wonder how you would feel or what you would expect of the state if a data center were in your back yard? Not just one, but hundreds concentrated in a small area. When I pull out of my neighborhood the plumes of smoke fill the skyline from the smokestacks of the data center in the distance, and not even a small fraction of what has been approved has finished construction. It is bad enough the trees and wildlife have been destroyed, but now we endure potential rolling black outs, ruined appliances from power surges, high wattage power lines crossing the landscapes as far as the eye can see, incessant humming through our walls, higher electric bills, higher risks of cancer due to water contamination and dirty air and if that isn't enough now we will have more pollutants to inhale through the diesel generators. What gives? What is the end game for the citizens, the families, and those of us who have no say so as our lives are being destroyed? Many of us are working more than one job to keep afloat, it isn't that easy to move. When do those of us who are directly impacted have a voice? I am pleading with anyone that will listen to give some consideration and vote how you would feel if this was happening to your community?
