Flattened out all those coal filled mountains just in time for building data centers.
„The bill was [heavily opposed](https://wvecouncil.org/urgent-protect-local-control-electricity-ratepayers-take-action-on-hb-2014/) by many West Virginians.
A [petition with more than 2,000 signatures](https://www.change.org/p/protect-local-freedom-urge-governor-morrisey-to-veto-data-center-bill?source_location=psf_petitions) addressed concerns over how the legislation strips them of their say in the development and operation of large-scale industrial projects tied to microgrids and data centers. “In essence, Charleston is allowing the fox to guard the henhouse,” the petition said.
“HB2014 opens the door for large-scale industrial facilities that would have lasting negative impacts on our mountains, rivers, and clean air,” the petition said. “Furthermore, it increases the burden on local infrastructure and emergency services, while driving the lion’s share of revenue away from our communities.”
