Session is over but the work isn't done! Virginia’s legislature will meet again on April 23rd for a special session to pass a state budget. That budget will address how data centers are taxed – or not. We have a critical window to advocate for strong, environmental standards as part of that budget negotiation. These standards will move Big Tech away from “behind the meter” gas power plants and diesel back-up generators and towards renewables and battery storage. 

If the legislature does not move these standards forward, they will have once again punted on the most important environmental issue of our time. We need your voice to hold them accountable!

Email your state legislators now. Urge them to pass data center reforms in the state budget!

The email below will be sent to all your state legislators. We have sample language below, but to make the most impact, we strongly recommend you personalize the content. Tell your story!
