EPA Proposal May Limit Public Access to Data Center Permit Information
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a plan that would remove the requirement for states to notify the public and seek comments before issuing air pollution permits for data centers and other industrial facilities. Critics argue that this could limit public awareness and input on potentially harmful projects, while the EPA maintains that the proposal aligns with the Clean Air Act and allows states to manage their permitting processes. The rule is expected to be finalized next year.
