@jeremyfisher.bsky.socialAnd Rehlko is expanding to provide a lot more of these. Trump's EPA is going to be hamstrung, so I hope to see state's crack down on these with tighter regs.
Show PostRecommended article and thread on the massive air pollution (comparable to a coal plant) that has been authorized without public input in VA by diesel generators providing "back-up" power for data centers. Great work by Jeremy and @sierraclub.org daylighting these issues.
Show PostBackup generators at Virginia data centers are permitted to emit nearly as much NOx each year than the dirtiest coal plant (New Madrid in MO) produces in a year. 👀
Show Post"Amazon has the largest data center footprint in Virginia and operates 35 percent of the generators in the state, according to an analysis by Sierra Club... It found that @microsoft.com has the second largest generator fleet in the state, with 10 percent of the total." #GreenSky
Show PostGreat thread. Too much of the conversation about flexible demand has treated it as nothing but good news. Folks need to know that curtailing the use of the grid during heat waves is bad news for the climate and our lungs if the data centers are turning to diesel generators.
