Episode Details

West Virginias Governor and Republican supermajority are fast-tracking data centers, despite pollution risks, massive water use, and utility bill spikes. Legislators barred cities from blocking sites, hid project details, and killed bills for water caps, transparency, local say, and resident buffers. House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, representing data center developers, is facing ethics alarms due to his dual role. Critics fear the Intermediate Court of Appeals Judge Dan Greear, whom Hanshaw is fundraising for, is being primed against community challenges. This cycle of exploitation repeats, with out-of-state operators profiting and leaving West Virginia to deal with the consequences.
