Local farmers fight to keep pipeline for Meta data center off their land

Local farmers in Wood County, Ohio, are fighting against Will-Power's attempt to use eminent domain to acquire their land for a natural gas pipeline intended to power a nearby Meta data center. The farmers, represented by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, argue that eminent domain should not be used for purely private corporate projects. While the case hasn't gone to court, the intervention has led Will-Power to agree to reroute the pipeline, though the new map is still pending.

Citizens question system in place to monitor and regulate emissions from power plant at data center

Residents in Middleton Township, Ohio are concerned about air pollution from a new 350-megawatt natural gas power plant being built by Will-Power to serve an adjacent Meta data center. Citizens expressed distrust in the regulatory system and pleaded with the EPA for better monitoring and consideration of cumulative emissions during a public hearing on the plant's draft air permit. The Ohio Power Siting Board had previously approved the power plant without public input, fast-tracking the project.
