Data centre developers arrive prepared—with lawyers, consultants, lobbyists, economic modelling and draft policy language.
Public representatives and communities should have prepared material from the public side of the conversation too.
Download *Before the Data Centre Decision* , and send it to the officials reviewing development in your community:

Project splitting allows one industrial development to be divided across separate applications, approvals and regulatory categories.
For data centres, that can mean the computing facility, power generation, water infrastructure, substations and backup systems are assessed as though they were unrelated.
They are one project. They should be assessed as one.

The #Trump Administration exempts new #nuclear reactors from #environmental review
Geoff Brumfiel, February 2, 20263:09 PM ET
"The Trump Administration has created an exclusion for new experimental reactors being built at sites around the U.S. from a major environmental law. The law would have required them to disclose how their construction and operation might harm the environment, and it also typically required a written, public assessment of the possible consequences of a #NuclearAccident.
"The exclusion announcement comes just days after NPR revealed officials at the Department of Energy had secretly rewritten environmental, safety and security rules to make it easier for the reactors to be built.
"The Department of Energy announced the change Monday in a notice in the Federal Register. It said the department would begin excluding advanced nuclear reactors from the #NationalEnvironmentalPolicyAct. The act requires federal agencies to consider the environment when undertaking new projects and programs.
"The law also requires extensive reporting on how proposed programs might impact local ecosystems. That documentation, known as an #EnvironmentalImpactStatement, and a second lesser type of analysis, known as an #EnvironmentalAssessment, provide an opportunity for the public to review and comment on potential projects in their community."

Fascinating guest lecture today in my Applied Environmental Assessment and Analysis class on the Middlebury (#Vermont) Bridge and Rail Project. Lots of good lessons learned about importance of genuine public engagement early and often. Learn more about the project here: vtrans.vermont.gov/projects/middlebury Definitely looking forward to visiting completed project site later this spring.

Analysis "in the context of recent calls in the #EU for the inclusion of more perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities in #EnvironmentalAssessment" [1]
On proliferating controversial "precisely wrong" monetary methods
https://mstdn.science/@Jeroen_van_der_Sluijs/109873680921402986
"Current impact assessments in the field of #EnvironmentalPolicies suffer from lack of diversity in economic thought"
"A standard neoclassic economic toolbox appears to dominate methodological choices"
