As data centers place growing demands on our electric grid, many of the biggest decisions about who pays for new infrastructure, how much energy is needed, where new transmission lines are built, and how utilities plan for future growth happen before state Public Utility Commissions (PUCs). Yet for many community advocates, the utility regulatory process […]
Spoiler alert, they aren’t. Landfills across Pennsylvania take in radioactive fracking waste, and it’s not just in Pennsylvania either. The leachate produced at these landfills is harmful and raises important questions for communities bearing the risks. How can regulators protect communities instead of buckling to the pressure from industry? A line up of expert presenters […]
Join us for a discussion of how the data center build-out proposed for Pennsylvania will be fueled by more fracking and additional gas power plants. Learn how you can be part of an important effort that seeks more protections for communities. Speakers: Lauren Posey, Environmental Policy Advocate, Protect PT Lisa Hallowell, Senior Attorney, Environmental Integrity […]
