Data centers are energy-and-water intensive facilities that are already impacting our utility bills, our water, and our air. The POWER Act is the commonsense solution to hold them accountable & ensure they pay their fair share. Urge lawmakers to support the bill: act.ilenviro.org/a/poweract
Historical oil painting inside the Illinos State Capitol building entitled "Lincoln, Profit, and Green on Flat Boat at New Salem." Three small figures on a flat boat prepare to go over a small set of rapids in the middle of a wide river. A boathouse sits to the east of the three travelers, while a figure watches the boat from the bank.

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.
@suchnerve
“I don’t want to wear a mask all the time” Alright. Would you please wear it sometimes? Sometimes > never. Like just keep one in your bag, and put it on when you’re in an extra crowded place maybe?
