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.

Since developers of the Google data center went before state and county officials, the number of emergency generators they say they need on the site has quadrupled. A public hearing on the proposal is set for Nov. 13.

The Project Zodiac developers building a Google data center in southeast Fort Wayne can expand the number of wetlands they will fill.

Data centers are predicted to eat up more than 10 percent of America's electrical energy in the next few years. Indiana Michigan Power and Google announced a plan to mitigate the usage on Monday.
