Pennsylvania Targets Data Center Secrets

A Pennsylvania bill sparks debate over data center transparency, aiming to crack down on secret deals that hide project details from local residents. While supporters argue communities deserve to know what’s being built in their neighborhoods—even if it doesn’t stop construction—opponents warn it could hurt economic growth by limiting tax breaks and infrastructure investments. The bill passed the Energy Committee with a rare 25-1 vote, signaling bipartisan concern for accountability. But critics say tax penalties won’t deter big tech, urging instead for rules forcing companies to shoulder their own infrastructure costs.
