Here are some recent AI data center projects that have stalled or failed to make it through. Plus: what’s working in pushback and more phrases you need to know.
Communities should demand trust funds aand claw-back agreements; awareness of alternative and enviro friendly Fractal Computers (size of re room size bldg. reg computer, capable of besting 200-2000 hard drive acre installation ); rates transparency; reg noise and Water inspections …
WHAT ABOUT MICHIGAN?? I BROUGHT VAN BUREN TWP MI TO YOUR ATTENTION MONTHS AGO AND SEE NO HELP OR COMMENTS FROM YOU. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR VAN BUREN TWP MI?
Have you been following the data centers in Virginia? In Prince William County, Blackstone's QTS data center was stopped after the center's flawed approval status was challenged. This was adjacent to the Manassas Battlefield. Federal officials were also considering a land swap that would allow another developer to build at least four data centers next to Prince William Forest Park in close proximity to Quantico Creek, a pristine waterway in Northern Virginia.
Hi, Anne -- I'm in MoCo, Md and we've just begun an 18-month moratorium, but I'm greatly concerned about the details tbd. I keep sending data w/links to our county council and exec but now I'm expanding to Gov Moore and others. It's a nightmare and oh so stupid once one does a small amount of digging. Have our officials been bought or something? Hope not.
* Noting that more than 100 data center moratoriums are being considered across the country, Garman warned that if these measures are enacted, the US "could be writing its own losing ticket" in the AI race, and that the consequences would last generations.
* The deal will enable more than $4.3 billion of new investment by Constellation and involves adding capacity at several of the power company's nuclear reactors in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, the companies said.
* In the latest arrangement, Google entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement for 890 megawatts of electricity from multiple Constellation-owned nuclear power plants, which would be upgraded to produce more electricity from existing reactors.

There is a project in Gilroy, CA. Rumor has it that it got approved in a similar way to the Imperial Valley data center.
