This session breaks down the strongest possible policy interventions to protect water, air, and public health from the data center buildout, and creative ways to use these protections to stop or slow data center development when bans aren't an option. The discussion covers water ordinances and moratoriums, diesel generators, and noise protections, with on-the-ground campaign and legal strategies from Ypsilanti, Memphis, and North Carolina.
