The Sierra Club has a resource to let you contact your Senator/House Rep over that act.sierraclub.org/actions/Nati... and phone calls/hand written letters are other options to help your voice be heard. I'm thinking of printing out a Grand Staircase photo collage and mailing it to mine (7/7).
I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards.

It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without.

yet another reason why fascists love AI
Despicable fucking government.
