Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Donald Trump is a crook. And he’s trying to steal American taxpayers blind. It will take the overwhelming turnout of American voters—who have eyes to see this theft—to stop this non-stop criminal operation.
