New England Governors Request $3 Billion Increase for Winter Heating Aid Amid Rising Costs

New England Governors Request $3 Billion Increase for Winter Heating Aid Amid Rising Costs

A bipartisan group of New England governors has formally requested an additional $3 billion in federal funding for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This appeal, directed to House Committee on Appropriations Chair Tom Cole and Senate Committee on Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, aims to bring the total LIHEAP funding to $7 billion. The governors, including Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte, and Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, highlighted the urgent need for this funding due to projected 50% increases in heating oil prices this winter.

Minneapolis City Council to Vote on Sweeping Data Center Regulations

Minneapolis City Council to Vote on Sweeping Data Center Regulations

The Minneapolis City Council is poised to vote on new, comprehensive regulations for data centers on November 12, ahead of a six-month moratorium expiration on November 21. The proposed rules aim to restrict data centers to existing buildings located only in downtown or the North Loop areas of the city. These facilities would be capped at a maximum size of 150,000 square feet, and any modifications to existing buildings would be minimal. To mitigate potential noise pollution, the regulations stipulate that computer equipment must be positioned at least 20 feet away from exterior building walls. While the city cannot legally limit energy or water consumption, the new rules will mandate that data center companies disclose their usage of these resources to the city. This move comes as the city seeks to manage the growth of data centers, with eight already present downtown and interest from Xcel Energy indicating potential for up to eight more projects.
