Williston protesters demand more transparency, regulation surrounding data centers

Williston residents protested against a planned $10 billion Critical Data House, demanding more regulation and transparency regarding its environmental, noise, water, and electricity impacts. Concerns stem from a previous noise settlement involving Atlas Power Data Center and the Williston City Commission's approval of the Critical Data House master plan. Protesters are also worried about potential rising electricity costs and property value depreciation.
