This post will prime residents across the greater SF Bay region for future actions: with an overview of what’s been won and what’s still at stake locally, and a roster of the local legislators, policy perspectives, and community-based organizations across the region leading the way.
AI Data Center Construction and the SF Bay-Delta Region: Potential Local Impacts and Signs of Resistance
The AI data center boom is increasingly becoming a local issue for Bay Area and Delta communities. This post looks at where development is expanding, how projects move through local and state approval processes, and how residents and policymakers are beginning to push back. From electricity and water demands to pollution, utility costs, and community benefits, the choices being made one project at a time could have consequences far beyond individual city limits.
The Montezuma Carbon Capture Project: Its Risks and Costs, Why It Won’t Fix Climate Change, and How You Can Help Stop It!
Despite what we now know about the limits of industrial carbon capture (outlined in our companion post: The Limits of Carbon Capture in the Race Against Global Warming), California is still relying on industrial carbon capture for its climate goals.
This post examines the proposed Montezuma Carbon Capture and Sequestration Hub targeting southern Solano County and the scope of its potential environmental, public health, and community impacts.
Learn why the time to act is now and how you and other Bay Area residents can help stop the project before it’s too late.
