World3 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported28m ago
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has put forward a regulatory proposal that would eliminate a federal requirement for public notice regarding proposed artificial intelligence data centers. This change threatens to hinder the public's ability to discover and provide feedback on such projects.
These facilities have recently generated significant local pushback in various communities across the United States. Additionally, the proliferation of data centers has influenced the broader midterm election landscape, drawing heightened political attention to their development and environmental impacts.
