New Webinar: fracking, data centers and protecting Pennsylvania communities (July 29th)


Hello Reader,

Pennsylvania is being lined up for a wave of new data centers. Behind that build-out is a quieter story: more fracking and new gas power plants to run it all.

The communities closest to this development are the ones who will carry the harms. On Wednesday, July 29, we're hosting a webinar about what's coming and how you can push for stronger protections.

Fracking Fuels Data Centers: Protective Buffers Make Communities Safer

Wednesday, July 29 at 7 p.m. Eastern, with our friends at Protect PT, the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) and FracTracker.

Register here

You'll hear from:

  • Lauren Posey, environmental policy advocate at Protect PT.
  • Lisa Hallowell, senior attorney at the Environmental Integrity Project.
  • Matt Kelso of FracTracker.
  • Courtney Bernhardt, director of research and co-director of EIP's Center for Environmental Investigations.
  • Lisa Graves Marcucci, EIP's Pennsylvania coordinator of community outreach.

Together they'll break down how the data center buildout proposed for Pennsylvania connects to more fracking and additional gas power plants, and where communities can win stronger protections.

You'll leave understanding how these projects move forward, the harms they bring to nearby communities and the specific safeguards, like protective buffers, that keep communities safer. Whether you're already organizing in your area or just starting to track what's happening, this session is for you.

This webinar is part of the network's growing work to track the data center build-out and the drilling it drives, and to connect the people standing up for their communities.

Hope to see you there,

Ryan

Hi Reader, Last week, a group of community members from Spartanburg Co., South Carolina did something that made me chuckle. At a recent town hall meeting, they recreated the constant noise that people living near a hyperscale data center experience every single day. Sounds annoying, right? I hope their board members took note. As it happens, we just hosted a workshop on data center noise pollution, where I learned that a decibel reading is only part of the story. Continuous, low-frequency...
