Community meeting to be held in Eddystone regarding potential LNG terminal Environmental advocates are sounding the alarm Sunday about the impacts such a facility could have.

No LNG on the Delaware River or anywhere in the U.S.

Not good for communities, jobs, the environment or our River!

Legislation in the State House Seeks to Assist Pennsylvania Municipalities Regulate Data Centers. But Who Would it Actually Help? - Bucks County Beacon β€œNo one has seen the ordinance this bill would end up producing,” warned Food & Water Watch’s Ginny Marcille-Kerslake.

#DataCenter proposals are popping up all over.

In PA we have 2 notable, and very relevant, items:

A Governer who is pro industry, fossil fuels, AI & data centers.

AND

A #GreenAmendment we are using to stand in defense of communities & the environment.

THE VOTE IS TOMORROW! Tell your PA State Reps to Vote NO on HB2151 - find your legislator at bit.ly/FINDMYPAREP . The cookie cutter approach that HB2151 proposes for municipal data center ordinances is dangerous for communities and threatens to fast track data center projects

Data Centers: A Big Problem Getting Worse Data Center proposals are proliferating nationwide. I firmly believe that Green Amendment protections can help.

#GreenAmendments are a powerful tool for taking on data centers. Read my most recent issue of The Green Amendment Way to learn about a specific project and the essential points in support of rejection the PA hashtag#GreenAmendment is helping to make.

As we see the federal government roll back environmental protections we need to see strong state leadership in response.

And we don't want to hear β€œits just not in our power”.

Instead, we want to see Green Amendments passed that make clear it absolutely IS within their power.
