The EPA has issued a directive that approves non-emitting components of projects like data centers and power plants to expedite construction without the necessary air permits.
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would allow data centers , power plants , and industrial facilities to begin construction on “non-emitting” components before the project has received its necessary air permits.

These pollutants lead to health issues like respiratory illnesses, heart diseases, and cancers.
“Rushing to break ground on new polluting projects, before air permits are even approved, is just the latest example of Donald Trump, Big Tech, and Big Fossil Fuel holding hands and recklessly bulldozing through processes that exist to keep our families and our communities healthy and safe.

”The Sierra Club is America’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, with millions of members and supporters. In addition to protecting every person’s right to get outdoors and access the healing power of nature, the Sierra Club works to promote clean energy, safeguard the health of our communities, protect wildlife, and preserve our remaining wild places through grassroots activism, public education, lobbying, and legal action.
