Letter: Study shows data center is a bad idea

Residents in New York's GLOW Region have expressed widespread opposition to the proposed STAMP data center complex, a joint venture from STREAM US Data Centers and Apollo Global Management, to be located in the town of Alabama. The community's concerns, which have reportedly united local residents, are multifaceted and well-known. Key issues raised by opponents include potential air and water pollution, significant noise, and harm to local wildlife and bird populations. Furthermore, residents are worried about increased electricity rates, a decline in property values, and the perceived loss of their rural and peaceful way of life. The opposition also highlights a distrust of large corporate entities, suggesting they do not prioritize the community's well-being.
