Trump, and the data center/AI and oil & gas lobbyists cooked up a bill to gut our nation’s foundational environmental and historic preservation laws. Chuck Schumer just voted to advance it in the Senate, even as Trump taunted him. This is a dirty deal to allow development of everything from more data centers and gas pipelines to ice detention centers and mining.
Schumer’s daughter works for Open AI. AI and data center developers badly want this bill because people nationwide are revolting against data centers - and stopping their construction. They need this bill to help trample local opposition. Schumer’s always raised huge money from wall street and tech companies, in addition to his blatant personal conflict.
Now he’s advanced a bill that takes us back several decades by gutting foundational environmental and historic preservation laws: the National Environmental Policy Act, Historic Preservation Act, Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. These are the laws people use to prevent horrificly bad environmental projects like hyperscale data centers. Read our bill memo here to learn more.
Join us and other grassroots groups to show Schumer we won’t take this betrayal lying down. We’ll be outside his building at 6 pm to tell Schumer he sold us out, and warn Jeffries not to follow Schumer’s deceitful example.
