Well, now we know why the Orange County Data Center ordinance has no teeth—and we owe a huge debt to one gutsy private citizen, Sarah Regan, for blowing the lid off it.
Watch her speech to the Orange County Board of Supervisors tonight. Pay close attention.
Spoiler alert: Attorneys for Amazon and the rest of the gang have been handed the keys to the drafting process, essentially dictating which parts of the ordinance are “acceptable” and which aren’t. And—surprise, surprise—the very next day those troublesome, actually-protective provisions magically disappear. How convenient. How utterly outrageous, citizens given the beaurocratic runaround while Amazon attorneys are waited on hand and foot.
As Sarah says, once the data centers are given the green light, transmission lines and eminent domain seizure of private land is sure to follow.
Call your supervisor TODAY, TELL THEM TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS OUTRAGE AND FIX IT!
See Sarah's full speech here, about 7-8 minutes, well worth it.
