Warnock Demands Data Center Protections | Atlanta News

Senator Raphael Warnock is demanding a pause on new data center projects in Georgia unless strict safeguards are in place—protecting water, electricity, tax fairness, and environmental quality. His push comes after the state approved OpenAI’s $20 billion, 3.2-gigawatt facility, which Georgia Power says will self-fund its power needs and manage peak demand. But Warnock insists companies must prove they won’t harm communities or hide deals behind NDAs. This isn’t his first rodeo—he’s already called on the EPA for federal guidance to shield local water resources, making clear he’ll fight to ensure these tech giants don’t come at the expense of everyday Georgians.
