The Boilermakers Local 454 union has endorsed "Project River," an $11.3 billion initiative in Bradley County, Tennessee, to build natural gas and biomass power plants intended to power data centers or advanced manufacturing facilities. Despite union support citing economic benefits like increased wages, local residents are protesting the project due to environmental concerns, particularly regarding the biomass plant's impact and noise from a potential data center.

Project River: Power Plant - Yes; Data Center - Not Yet

Wright Brothers plans to build a 1,500-megawatt power plant in northern Bradley County, Tennessee, with a data center being one of several potential 'off takers' for the electricity. Developers are actively addressing resident concerns regarding power grid impact, water usage, and noise related to a potential data center or industrial facility. The power plant will utilize natural gas and biomass, with a closed-loop water system and no significant local grid or water system impact.
