EPA proposes scrapping public comment period for AI data center construction
The EPA is proposing an amendment to the 1970 Clean Air Act that would eliminate a mandatory 30-day public comment period before construction of so-called "minor sources" of industrial pollution. The move would effectively remove a key tool that communities have used to oppose new AI data center projects. Critics see it as a response to growing public backlash over the environmental impact of AI infrastructure.
