Fast-tracked power plants fuel AI boom, with little public scrutiny

Across the United States, dozens of off-grid natural gas power plants are being fast-tracked for approval with little public scrutiny to meet the booming electricity demands of data centers. These plants, like the Apollo Generating Station in Ohio serving Meta's data center, often bypass typical permitting, environmental studies, and public hearings. Residents are concerned about the environmental impact and lack of transparency, while developers use exemptions and shell companies to expedite approvals.
