Warga Pennsylvania menentang lonjakan pusat data dalam rapat umum

Warga memadati rapat umum virtual untuk menyatakan penolakan keras terhadap ekspansi pesat pusat data di Pennsylvania. Para pembicara menyalahkan proyek-proyek tersebut atas naiknya biaya listrik, konsumsi air yang besar, serta masalah kebisingan, sekaligus mengkritik Gubernur Josh Shapiro karena mendukung industri ini.

Lebih dari 20 orang berbicara selama forum dua jam pada Rabu malam yang menarik sekitar 225 penonton. Para peserta menyoroti kekhawatiran mengenai transparansi dan kurangnya masukan publik terhadap pembangunan yang menurut mereka mengindustrialisasi daerah pedesaan tanpa perlindungan yang memadai.
