美国环保署提议消除联邦层面的一项规定,该规定要求各州在发放数据中心等工业设施的空气污染许可证前进行公众通知和征求意见1。环保署发言人Carolyn Holran表示,这项提案适用于所有被《清洁空气法》认定为"小污染源"的设施,其中包括洗衣店、汽修店、垃圾填埋场和钢铁厂等1。环保署署长Lee Zeldin称该举措旨在"削减不必要和繁重的官僚红带,释放美国能源并推进与各州的合作联邦制"1。该机构预计将在明年最终确定这项规则1。
这一提案引发环保组织和社区团体的担忧,他们认为取消公众参与要求将使民众无法了解和参与数据中心建设决策。数据中心会排放氮氧化物、一氧化碳等空气污染物,并引发过度用水和噪音等问题1。特朗普在社交媒体表示,没有数据中心的美国社区将"最终变得落后和贫穷"1。
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed removing a federal requirement that states notify the public and solicit comments before issuing air pollution permits for data centers and other industrial facilities 1. The initiative, which the Trump administration frames as a deregulatory measure to streamline federal cooperation with states, would eliminate transparency requirements affecting facilities classified as "small sources of emissions" under the Clean Air Act 1.
EPA spokesperson Carolyn Holran stated that the proposal applies broadly to all facilities designated as small pollution sources, including laundromats, auto repair shops, landfills, and steel mills 1. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin characterized the plan as aimed at "cutting unnecessary and burdensome red tape, unleashing American energy, and advancing cooperative federalism with our states" 1. The agency expects to finalize the rule by next year 1.
Data centers emit nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other air pollutants, while also creating concerns related to excessive water consumption and noise 1. President Trump stated on social media that American communities without data centers would "eventually fall behind and become poor" 1. Environmental organizations and community groups have opposed the proposal, arguing it will prevent the public from understanding and participating in decisions about data center construction 1.
