Data centers are cropping up all over Indiana and the country, despite public opinion shifting heavily on the projects.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management invited public comment on the request to add a further 143 emergency diesel generators to the Google Data Center currently underway.

The state organization invited members and nonmembers to participate in a conversation about accountability around data centers.
