They allege Britt is biased due to his public advocacy for the project and disparaging comments about opponents, making it impossible for him to impartially review the controversial data center and associated natural gas power plant. The SCPSC must now decide on Britt's recusal before addressing the project's compliance with state utility siting and environmental protection laws.
