Environmental activists and local officials are raising concerns about the potential climate and water impacts of Atmosphere Data Centers' proposed 110-acre campus in Dickerson, Montgomery County, Maryland. The project, planned for a former coal plant site owned by Terra Energy, faces calls for 100% renewable energy use and a temporary moratorium on data center construction in the county due to its significant power and water demands.
