Keep calling your reps, from the local levels to the federal. This is a good sign we’re being heard!

The recommendations for legislative action amount to a striking call for industry regulation by the Republican governor in a state that has long prided itself on being a favorable environment for business.

Residents in Monterey Park, California have voted overwhelmingly to permanently ban data centres in their city, making it the first community in the US to do so through a public vote.

The result was a landslide, with 86% of voters backing the ban.

Concerns about air quality, drinking water, rising utility costs, and the sheer size of facilities being built next to homes were behind the vote.

A Gallup poll out this year found that around 70% of Americans share that view.

Other communities in Wisconsin and Michigan are already preparing ballot measures of their own, and Monterey Park's organisers hope their win becomes a blueprint, showing that residents can have a real say in how their cities are built and what gets built next to their homes.
