Boston City Council Hearing on Zoning for Data Centers.
When: MONDAY, OCT. 19th @ 2pm
Where: BOSTON CITY HALL, Iannella Chamber (5th Floor)
ACE [Alternatives for Community and Environment] has been leading the charge against data centers for two years.

Data Centers are causing disastrous air pollution in frontline communities. They’re sharply spiking energy costs. And they’re fueling extreme weather and climate chaos.

Now, Boston City Council is considering a zoning-code amendment to prohibit data centers in our city. This is a crucial step, following leadership from residents and officials across the state and the nation.

I hope you’ll join us at this hearing!

When: MONDAY, OCT. 19th @ 2pm
Where: BOSTON CITY HALL, Iannella Chamber (5th Floor)

I will be testifying on behalf of ACE, alongside a member of Honest Future for Lowell, which has been leading the opposition to the Markley Group data center in that city.

If you’re interested in testifying, please contact me at [email protected]

Data centers don’t belong in our city
Boston has a history of allowing harmful industrial projects in neighborhoods where the working class, immigrant, and Black and Brown populations live. Today, we’re facing a housing crisis and high energy costs — and still confronting issues like trash-transfer stations near dense neighborhoods of Roxbury.

If you can make it on Monday, please join us!

You can also learn more about the hearing here, along with instructions for submitting written testimony, and watching online if you can’t join in-person.

Thanks for supporting ACE’s outspoken stance against data center impacts! We’ve helped shape this crucial movement and you’ve helped make that possible.

Tristan Thomas, Director of Law & Policy, ACE

Tell Our Legislators: Bring the Senate Energy Bill to a Vote
REGISTER HERE: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/DCZQxSs1SPmKdpogfUkYWw

The Energy Affordability Bill remains stalled in the conference committee as our Senate allies fight to save Mass Save, wind down the gas plan (GSEP) that promotes unneeded pipelines and keep Alternative Compliance Payments going to clean energy programs.

Wednesday 10/21 we and all our climate allies are planning a phone and email blitz to overwhelm our legislators with the message that we want an energy bill that includes the Senate's proposals.

The last time the climate movement stepped up en masse like this, we stopped Rep. Cusack's terrible energy bill in its tracks and left legislators impressed with the scale of our action.

We can make a difference again if we all step up to call and write our legislators and leadership in synch.

Sign up for the Action Call to get a briefing on the status of the Energy Affordability Bill, recommended call and email talking points, and the support of our group as we make calls and send emails while we remain on Zoom together.Energy Affordability Bill, recommended call and email talking points, and the support of our group as we make calls and send emails while we remain on Zoom together.

Here's a picture of Whitelee Wind Farm, just south of Glasgow, from the air. It's the UK's biggest onshore wind farm. And, over the next few years, it's preparing to repower its massive turbines ⚡️

Repowering means replacing older turbines with much larger, ultra-efficient models that generate significantly more electricity and profit. In the end, there will be bigger turbines, but fewer overall.

Right now, overseas corporations and private operators extract vast profits from Scotland’s wind, while nearby communities often see very little return to fund public services, social care, or local energy bill relief.

We believe that when a major wind farm repowers, local councils and community trusts should secure a direct ownership stake and keep those millions in profits working for local people.

Should local councils get a direct share of local wind farm profits when projects repower?
