Data centers power our everyday lives, and the surging demand for data centers raises critical environmental and community concerns. This Friday, join Maryland LCV for a deep dive into the world of data centers, a vital and important part of our data-driven lives yet a significant source of environmental challenges.

The Maryland General Assembly is currently considering legislation aimed at enhancing our tech infrastructure, though skirts around essential community engagement and environmental oversight. Maryland LCV is working to strike a balance that will welcome data centers to Maryland while minimizing their environmental impacts.

During this session, you will:
Understand the bill’s intentions and implications for greenhouse gas emissions.
Learn how data center backup generators may sideline critical community input and environmental justice principles - and how we can correct this misstep.
Hear strategies to welcome data centers while adhering to Maryland’s environmental commitments.
See how you can get involved!
