- Echoes of the past in Pennsylvania coal towns’ fight against data centers
Residents of Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, oppose a proposed 15-building data center complex on a coal-rich plateau, prompting the township to vote for an 180-day pause on data center applications. State legislators introduced a bill to block data center development for three years, reflecting broader resistance to such projects due to environmental and health concerns, particularly in areas with a history of industrial pollution.
