Trump is giving data centers a pass to pollute

President Trump is loosening environmental rules to accelerate AI data-center construction, a move that former EPA officials say increases health risks for Americans. The EPA’s former administrator, Lee Zeldin, has pursued deregulation to make the U.S. an AI capital, rolling back dozens of environmental safeguards. The officials urge the administration to adopt a “Data Center Health Protection Pledge” to address the resulting environmental threats.
