Data centers are so consequential in the amounts of energy and water they use, the amounts of noise the create, and the effects they have on local wildlife, aesthetics, and air quality, it's vital that a locality know what those consequences are before committing to them.

Please support HB153. We need regulations to ensure that data centers are not sited where they harm residential neighborhoods’ quality of life by producing excessive noise, pollution, or making excessive demands on water or power infrastructure or encroaching on a locality’s designated historic or natural areas.
