University of Illinois Students to hold rally opposing data centers

University of Illinois students, through their organization Students for Environmental Concerns (SECS), are organizing a protest against hyperscale data centers due to concerns about noise, pollution, power grid strain, and water contamination. The Champaign County Board has enacted a 12-month moratorium on such developments and formed a task force to develop new zoning and permitting rules. SECS is calling for a comprehensive ordinance to address community concerns.

‘We don’t want to see it, hear it or smell it’: Grant County sets hard boundaries for incoming data center

Grant County, Arkansas, has set strict conditions and financial demands for a proposed 800-megawatt data center and solar farm project by Clean Cloud Energy, for which an unnamed "end user" has been found. County Judge Randy Pruitt outlined six non-negotiable demands regarding environmental impact, noise, electricity rates, and internet quality, which the company must meet to be considered for property tax abatements. The county also requires a one-time lump sum payment of nearly $57 million and annual fees from the end user to receive a 65% tax abatement.
