Datacenter Developers Accused of Manipulating EPA Air Pollution Permits to Avoid Scrutiny

Datacenter Developers Accused of Manipulating EPA Air Pollution Permits to Avoid Scrutiny

Environmental advocates allege that datacenter developers are manipulating the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) air pollution permitting process to bypass stringent emission controls and public scrutiny. These companies are reportedly dividing their emissions sources into multiple 'minor' sources, which require less regulatory oversight compared to a single 'major' source. This tactic allows permit applications to be approved faster and potentially saves tech companies money by avoiding the costs associated with pollution controls. Datacenters can be significant emitters of various hazardous air pollutants, including nitrogen oxide, ozone, heavy metals, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases. Examples cited include Amazon and Duke Energy in North Carolina, which are installing 649 diesel generators for a hyperscale center and submitted two permits to avoid a major review in an area already suffering from high air pollution. Similarly, in New Mexico, Project Jupiter datacenter developers attempted ...

Congressman Tim Moore Reassures North Carolina on Hurricane Helene Recovery Amidst Governor Stein's $10 Billion Request

Congressman Tim Moore Reassures North Carolina on Hurricane Helene Recovery Amidst Governor Stein's $10 Billion Request

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has requested an additional $10 billion in federal aid for Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, marking two years since the storm devastated Western North Carolina. The requested funds include $3 billion for rebuilding dams and municipal roads, $1.5 billion for economic recovery, and another $3 billion for home rebuilding and lost housing stock. This request comes despite previous substantial federal investments in the state's recovery. Republican Congressman Tim Moore has publicly stated his confidence in the Trump administration's commitment to these recovery efforts, countering Governor Stein's criticism of President Trump regarding earlier comments about relief funds. Moore emphasized that the entire North Carolina congressional delegation, across both Republican and Democratic parties, views Helene recovery as a vital issue and believes Capitol Hill leadership is responsive to their needs.

USDA Recalls Over 167,000 Pounds of Meat Due to Falsified Inspection Labels

More than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat are being recalled nationwide by Star Meat Delivery Inc., based in Lucama, North Carolina, due to falsified USDA inspection stickers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that the products were not properly inspected by federal authorities. The meat in question was produced on various dates before September 22 and bears an establishment number, EST. 1363, which the agency states does not have a federal grant of inspection.

The agency warns that food produced without proper inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants. While there have been no confirmed reports of illnesses or injuries, consumers are advised to discard or return the misbranded products. Star Meat Delivery Inc. has stated that the establishment number was legitimately reserved as part of their USDA application process, which is still underw...
