Join the Call for a Moratorium on Data Centers in Klickitat County!
Data center expansion is driving up electricity costs, threatening the Columbia River and salmon recovery, and harming people who live and work near the industrial complexes. At the same time, Big Tech rakes in tax breaks, and hides behind non-disclosure agreements.
Multiple developers have announced plans for data center development in Klickitat County. This includes proposals in Dallesport and one near the John Day Dam.
A recent Washington State Standard article, Rural Klickitat County faces surge in data center proposals, disclosed the staggering amount of energy data center developers are eyeing: “[they] have asked the Bonneville Power Administration and Klickitat Utility District for access to up to 5,655.5 megawatts of power. That’s enough to power up to six million homes or about 15 cities the size of Seattle.”
The pace of development and impacts from data centers are staggering. Across Washington and America, communities are demanding action from their elected officials. Join the growing call for a data center moratorium in your community.
