Back to feedTrump’s EPA wants to let data centers hide their air pollution

EDITOR BRIEF
The EPA plans to eliminate a federal rule requiring public notice and comment when certain industrial facilities seek air permits. Environmental advocates warn the change could let data centers and other projects move forward without nearby residents knowing about or challenging potential air pollution.
COMMENTARY
The proposal comes as data center construction faces rising local resistance over energy, water, and emissions impacts. Weakening disclosure rules could accelerate AI infrastructure buildout, but it may also deepen conflicts over community oversight and environmental accountability.
