Letter to the editor: Kent Environmental Council will examine data center impact

Editor’s note: The Portager publishes letters to the editor from the community. The opinions expressed are published not because they necessarily reflect those of the publication but because we feel they contribute meaningfully to the local discourse on matters of public interest.

No matter where we look these days, the information media is overwhelming us with red flags about the impending disruption of data centers throughout our county and our state. This firehose of information is too much for any one of us to absorb, but we are a community. And as members of that community the Kent Environmental Council is preparing a position paper on the risks that these behemoths pose and what we can do to arrest their unabated development.
