We couldn’t agree more. Thank you for your work on this matter PEC!

Big development in Pennsylvania on the data center front!

BREAKING: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an executive order banning “irresponsible AI data centers.”

“I just signed an Executive Order implementing the strictest standards in the nation for AI data centers — because I will not allow Pennsylvanians to be bullied by greedy developers and bulldozed by the lawyers working for these big tech companies.

Effective immediately, we’re requiring AI data centers to commit to strict environmental and transparency requirements AND receive approval from the local community if they want to build here.

That’s not all: We’re also removing ALL data centers from our Fast Track permit program and stopping any office or agency under my jurisdiction from signing an NDA with AI data center developers.

I’m putting these developers on notice and letting them know that we will not let them bully Pennsylvanians, disregard our constitutional right to clean air and pure water, and drive up our utility bills.

I’m using the full weight of my executive authority to block the objectionable, unwarranted projects and put the nation’s strictest set of protections in place.”

Fantastic turnout at the Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting last night. Change happens when citizens show up, speak up, and challenge ideas.

Just look at what happened in Spotsylvania County last night. A Board of Supervisors that was pushing for Spotsylvania to have its own data center alley voted to support State Senator Glen Sturtevant’s call for Gov. Abigail Spanberger to issue a statewide moratorium on data centers. Keep doing what you’re doing, citizens of Spotsylvania!

The justification for the Joshua Falls to Yeat transmission line is rapidly crumbling for Dominion and Valley Link. Continue pushing back against the attack on Central Virginia, and if you’re able, please consider contributing to the Valley Link Legal Defense Fund so we can challenge Valley Link’s SCC filing this fall.
