Speak Out on Data Centers

Good news: Legislation proposed to address data center risks

Legislation has been proposed by Senator Habush Sinykin and Representative Angela Stroud that would address some of the major concerns about data centers. This legislation requires data centers to be transparent about their energy and water use, meet strong labor and environmental standards, and use at least 70% renewable energy. It also ensures they pay their fair share and prevents costs from being pushed onto regular customers.
