明尼苏达州Hermantown(明尼苏达州)因对拟议的200英亩数据中心进行环境审查而遭到起诉,明尼苏达州环境宣传中心和当地居民指控该市没有披露项目的真实性质,没有使用充分的影响评估,而且尽管自2024年9月以来就了解该提议,但隐瞒了关键细节。 A lawsuit has been filed against Hermantown, Minnesota, over the environmental review of a proposed 200-acre data center, with the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy and local residents alleging the city failed to disclose the project's true nature, used inadequate impact assessments, and withheld key details despite knowing about the proposal since September 2024. 批评者说,这次审查忽视了用水、能源需求和排放等主要关切,并依赖过时的工业估计。 Critics say the review ignored major concerns like water use, energy demands, and emissions, and relied on outdated industrial estimates. 超过100名居民的请愿导致许可延迟,预计11月将进行公众审查。 A petition from over 100 residents prompted a delay in permitting, with public review expected in November. 这标志着近几个月来明尼苏达州第五个类似的法律挑战,凸显出公众因透明度和环境问题而日益反对数据中心项目。 This marks the fifth similar legal challenge in Minnesota in recent months, highlighting growing public pushback against data center projects due to transparency and environmental concerns.
