PA GOP Rep. Seeks Ban on Farmers Selling Land for Data Centers

Marla Brown
We continue to see Pennsylvania Republicans fall down the rathole of anti-data centerism. The latest is Republican state Rep. Marla Brown of Lawrence County, who will introduce a bill that would block farmers from selling their own land for use as a data center. Those same farmers can sell their land for big, ugly (and noisy) windmills. Or they can sell their land for huge solar farms. Or they can even sell their own land for a generic Walmart warehouse. But a data center? Lord no! We can't have farmers turning into millionaires (see NEPA Landowner Sells Small Farm to Data Center for $17.8 Million).
