A combat veteran and cancer survivor, along with other community members, is speaking out against a new Vantage data center planned for San Antonio, Texas. Concerns focus on potential air pollution from a gas-fired power plant and numerous diesel backup generators, given the data center's proximity to residential areas like Alamo Ranch. Residents are calling for better regulations to address the environmental and health impacts of the project.

"I was in Kuwait watching where they don't care to have standards, you know, fumes, toxic dust, everything float around. When I was in Iraq, running around areas. Why are we knocking in so many of these data centers in such a small area that's already zoned for residential? You have Alamo Ranch, a community of ten thousand people."
Community members calling for better regulations for a planned gas-fired power plant and nearly 70 diesel "backup" generators for Vantage's new data center at 5200 Rogers Road in San Antonio, Texas.
