By Joanna Prendergast and Chris Lewis

An investigation into dust pollution around Geraldton has found magnetite from industrial activities is directly contributing to the levels of dust throughout the community.

#EPA proposal could leave the public in the dark on #datacenter plans

By MATTHEW DALY
Updated 1:37 PM EDT, September 3, 2026

WASHINGTON (AP) — "A plan by the Environmental Protection Agency could make it harder for the public to learn about and comment on proposed AI data centers that have sparked backlash in communities across the United States and transformed the midterm election landscape.

"The EPA proposal would eliminate a federal requirement that states notify the public and seek comment before issuing #AirPollution permits for data centers and other #IndustrialFacilities. States could still offer opportunities for public comment, but the EPA would no longer mandate them as a condition for states to grant permits.

"Critics say the move could thwart local residents from learning about proposed data centers or making their voices heard before projects are approved and construction begins. The move comes during a widespread backlash as #TechGiants build hundreds of massive #ServerWarehouses to fuel #ArtificialIntelligence and #CloudComputing.

" 'By eliminating the long-standing federal requirement for public notice, this proposal continues efforts by the Trump administration to turn its back on the fundamental EPA principle of transparency,' said Mike Koerber, a former deputy director of EPA’s air quality office.

"If made final, the plan could create 'an unlevel playing field where citizens in one state are kept completely in the dark about new data centers and heavy industrial emissions in their backyards, while neighboring states maintain oversight,' he said.

"Under the EPA plan, states with weak or no requirements for #PublicComment could speed permits for data centers, #PowerPlants and other #PollutionSources without consulting the public or even informing communities where the facilities are located, Koerber and other critics said."

Utah State University: Pine Needles Predict Air Quality? USU Researcher Says Yes. “Professor Randy Martin from the Utah Water Research Laboratory has used pine needles as passive air quality samplers in a recent study comparing urban air quality in Rose Park and Spanish Fork, Utah. Many compounds in the air, such as pesticides, are attracted to the fats on the surface of pine needles. Martin […]

@greenpeace I think the car emission control in Czech Republic in the EU must be utterly corrupt, because every time I walk next to a city arterial road with a lot of cars I choke on the horrible exhaust stench. While in Cambodia, which is a world champion in corruption, a developing 3rd world dictatorship, where I doubt they even have emission control, I routinely rode a motorbike in similarly dense traffic in similar size arterial roads and I never noticed any stench, with exception of some broken diesel trucks which were billowing similar thick black smoke like in your picture and they were stinking unbearably, so I had to slow down to get rid of them, but the rest of the traffic was not stinking at all unlike in Czech Republic, EU, where just passenger cars stink unbearably.

So I think the Czech emission control is just a counter-productive overcomplicated bureaucracy which just bullies ordinary citizens and has exactly the opposite effect as claimed.

I feel

s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech regime when I have a comparative international experience like this.
