Update— @MayakvanRossum.bsky.social last night at a town hall meeting in Lower Mount Bethel, PA regarding a proposed 1.2 gigawatt data center. The resounding message was that this project was not wanted by the community and that they would rather pay higher taxes than to take money from the project.
Why is NY Attorney General squandering this opportunity to have one of the healthiest and cleanest states in the nation? In 2021, NY passed a state constitutional amendment that guarantees our right to a clean & healthy environment. It's time we act on it:

Article 1, Section 27 of PA's State Constitution creates a lawful obligation that the state must adhere to, with regards to our environmental rights. How does it work? We'll explain in our webinar tomorrow, Wed, April 8th.
