Episode Details

Meta’s massive new data center in Richland Parish is under fire from the Sierra Club over its air pollution permit, which they say dangerously undercounts emissions—especially from diesel generators—and wrongly classifies the facility as a “minor source” instead of a “major source.” The group demands public hearings, independent air monitoring, and a reevaluation of the permit to protect community health, while also suggesting battery storage as a cleaner alternative. Meta insists it’s cooperating with regulators—but critics warn the current permit doesn’t reflect the true environmental cost.
