#EPA proposal could leave the public in the dark on #datacenter plans
By MATTHEW DALY
Updated 1:37 PM EDT, September 3, 2026WASHINGTON (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."

Dedicated Power Plant For Pax Silica’s Energy Needs
To ensure that the ambitious Pax Silica will have its very own power supply to meet its needs, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) recently announced that the proponents are studying the construction of a dedicated power plant, according to a business news report by GMA News.
Previously a P7 billion investment of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) for Pax Silica’s energy supply was prompted. New Clark City was chosen to host the artificial intelligence (AI) hub.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said Sunday that proponents of the US-led Pax Silica project in New Clark City, Tarlac, are studying the construction of a dedicated power plant to ensure the facility does not compete with nearby residential communities for electricity.
Pax Silica has faced scrutiny over its projected resource requirements, with the BCDA estimating that the facility could require up to 3 gigawatts (3 million kilowatts) of power at full development.
“‘Yung kuryente, pinag-aaralan nila na magkaroon ng dedicated power plant… na hindi ito magsasapanganib sa supply ng kuryente lalo na para sa mga residential na komunidad. Ayaw rin nila ‘yon,” BCDA President and CEO Joshua Bingcang said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.
(Regarding power, they are studying the establishment of a dedicated power plant so that it will not jeopardize the electricity supply, especially for residential communities. They also want to avoid that.)
Bingcang said officials have discussed power and water requirements with the project’s proponents and partners from the United States, Japan, and South Korea, who also want to ensure that the facility has sufficient utility supplies.
“Kasi kung nakikita nilang wala, hindi rin pupunta ‘yung mga industriya na ito. So gusto nila, ‘pag pupunta rin sila dito, is stable, reliable at maaasahan ang kuryente,” Bingcang said.
(Because if they see that there is insufficient supply, these industries will not come. So if they invest here, they want the power supply to be stable, reliable, and dependable.)
“Kaya ngayon po, kasama na po, hindi lang po sa paggawa ng mga planta doon sa New Clark City, tinitingnan din nila ‘yung ecosystem,” he added.
(That is why they are looking not only at building plants in New Clark City but also at the entire ecosystem.)
Bingcang said this ecosystem includes the availability and reliability of power and water, as well as infrastructure, airports, seaports, and other facilities.
Clean, green energy – The BCDA said Pax Silica aims to use clean and green energy, with solar farms among the primary options being considered.
“So ang una po naming tiningnan dito ay solar farms. So meron na po tayong inaprubahan na solar project po diyan—ang mamumuhunan po ay sa Saudi Arabia,” Bingcang said.
(The first option we looked at was solar farms. We have already approved a solar project there involving an investor from Saudi Arabia.)
“Susunod po, hinihikayat na rin o nire-regulate na rin ng Department of Energy magkaroon ng mga battery storage… Kasi ang solar farm po ay mga ilang oras lang po, ‘pag gabi, wala na, so kailangan meron pong imbakan o storage ng baterya para sa maipon na enerhiya sa mga solar farm,” he added.
(Next, the Department of Energy is encouraging and regulating the use of battery storage. Solar farms generate power only during the day, so battery storage systems are needed to store energy for use when solar power is unavailable.)
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think Pax Silica will eventually have its very own, high-capacity power plant to ensure it has sufficient energy while sparing the local communities that relied on the national power grid? Do you think solar power is sufficient for Pax Silica which will have AI-related projects?

How Europe’s drought exposes ‘weakness of #FossilFuels’ as Poland forced to shut down coal plants
Poland has been forced to reduce output on its #coal-fired #PowerPlants following critically low water levels in the #Vistula River.
#Poland has been urged to double down on #CleanEnergy after Europe’s drought wreaked havoc on its coal industry.
Earlier this week (4 August) utility giant #Enea was forced to reduce generation at the #Kozienice and #Połaniec coal-fired power plants after critically low #water levels in the #VistulaRiver limited cooling water supplies.
The move is said to have removed 1.3 GW from Poland’s power system, enough to power more than one million average households. This is around two per cent of the country’s current energy capacity.
River flow near the Kozienice Power Plant fell to just 135 cubic metres per second on 5 August, reflecting #severe #drought conditions.
The plant’s cooling system withdraws approximately 80–100 m³/s of water from the river – more than half of the remaining flow under such conditions.
> Despite growing evidence that the plant is killing millions of fish larvae, including from six protected species, Enea is cracking on with plans to build a near 1.3GW gas-fired power plant at the Kozienice site. Experts warn that such a move will increase pressure on the Vistula River ecosystem through continued high cooling water demand.

If #Cities Are Going To Be Packed With #ParkingLots, They Should All Have #Solar Canopies
More than 5% of developed land in the United States is dedicated to parking lots.
A study attempted to determine what would happen if #Walmart covered all 3,571 of its Super locations’ parking lots with #solarpanels, the solar power generation would be 11.1GW. That’s about the same as twelve large coal-fired #powerplants, enough electricity to provide power to 8.325 million homes. https://jalopnik.com/if-cities-are-going-to-be-packed-with-parking-lots-the-1850880420
