Updated Aug 29Consensus Brief
The Trump administration's EPA plans to eliminate a federal rule requiring public notice and comment for air permits at certain industrial sites, including data centers. This change is expected to reduce public scrutiny and allow developers to proceed without community input. Advocates argue that this could lead to significant environmental impacts without adequate oversight.
