The data center industry has been running roughshod over democratic process at local, state, and federal levels. This "permitting reform" is an affront to the hundred of thousands of Americans who have spoken up against data centers projects in their community.
The Senate permitting bill would be a gift to data centers and their massive gas buildout. It would weaken accountability + give developers more power at communities’ expense.
Congress should reject the bill.

Instead of faster permiting, we need a nationwide moratorium. This will give us more time to understand the dangers of this new technology, the effects it will have on nearby communities, and the effect on our country's energy infrastructure.
LIVE from Harrisburg: PA House Environmental & Natural Resource Protection Committee hearing on Mineral Brine permits. FracTracker Executive Director Shannon Smith will be testifying. Tune in 👇 xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nGeLMzNj…
The hearing, chaired by house rep Greg Vitali, is in the wake of PA DEP's permit for an experimental new "mineral brine" well. FracTracker has an appeal, as we worried this creates a regulatory loophole to spread toxic wastewater on PA roads fractracker.org/2026/06/pa-d…

FracTracker Alliance/DEP Report Owners Of Over 81,000 Conventional Oil & Gas Wells Did Not Report How Much Waste They Produced In 2025; DEP Proposes Changes To Eliminate Failure To Report Waste information [PaEN] tinyurl.com/3bnxwtkt
Follow up reporting from @paenvirodigest on FracTracker's PA waste report from August estimates that oil and gas operators could producing over 100 million gallons of contaminated waste water that they aren't reporting.
paenvironmentdaily.blogspot.…
August’s report found that 48,545 more conventional wells reported producing oil or gas than reported waste in 2025. A quick reminder: oil and gas production generates waste, and these reporting gaps leave serious questions about where it goes.
Oct. 5: FracTracker’s Shannon Smith testifies in Harrisburg on DEP’s “mineral brine” permit.
Our appeal challenges evasion of solid waste rules for marketing and spreading brine on roads.
The hearing starts at 10 a.m. ET. Watch online: pahouse.com/live
☢️The fracking company CNX is expanding a voluntary radiation monitoring program. We are skeptical that "Radical Transparency" can be achieved through voluntary industry initiatives, and think we need much more scrutiny of radioactive dangers fractracker.org/2026/09/cnxs…
Much of the radioactivity of fracking waste is alpha and beta radiation, radon, particulate matter. Monitoring gamma radiation is one step in the right direction, but not enough to quantify the full harm and risks a program that deems radioactive waste "safe".
U.S. Data Center Tracker August Update
📊 August Data Centers Tracker snapshot: 33 new facilities across 15 states, plus 62 updates to projects already in the tracker.
Only 16 of the 33 facilities disclosed their size. The other 17 publish no number, leaving the public and surrounding communities without crucial information.
