Pittsburg Residents Demand Transparency Over New Data Center Development
Residents of Pittsburg, California, are voicing concerns over a planned data center at a former golf course site. The project, approved by the city council in 2024, has faced growing opposition due to environmental and transparency issues. Residents, led by the Stop Pittsburg Data Center coalition, are worried about the center's water and energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. The Center for Biological Diversity has sued the city, resulting in an agreement for the data center to use renewable energy and recycled water. A special city council meeting is scheduled to address these concerns and discuss potential regulations for future facilities.
