Oracle Renewables Promise vs EPA Deregulation

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

Oracle's green promise might distract, but the EPA's plan to scrap public review lets data centers bury neighbors in noise and emissions without a peep.

💡 Why it matters

This combined push—voluntary renewables and regulatory rollback—could accelerate data center expansion while sidelining community oversight and enforcement.

Oracle pledges 2 GW of renewable energy to match emissions from its Stargate data center. Meanwhile, the EPA proposes eliminating public review rules for data center pollution permits.
