New Jersey fines data center $1.1M after drone pics expose 62 gas generators
摘要
新泽西州责令东海岸一大型规划数据中心运营商缴纳110万美元罚款，原因是其违反《空气污染控制法》私自安装并运行燃气发电机。调查显示，62台发电机中45台在运行，均未取得所需许可，实际功率远超州限值。州环保部门指出，此类发电机排放多种燃烧相关污染物，可能加重哮喘、诱发心脏病并导致过早死亡。
This week, New Jersey ordered the operator of one of the East Coast’s largest planned data centers to pay a $1.1 million fine for secretly installing and operating gas generators in violation of the state’s Air Pollution Control Act.
DataOne got hit with the fine after an investigation by The Guardian and Floodlight News in August shared thermal drone footage showing that 45 of the 62 gas generators were operating. None of the generators had permits required for generators with 37-kilowatt capacity or higher, despite running at 1,982-kw capacities more than 50 times higher than the state limit.
States track gas generators like DataOne uses because they emit “carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other combustion-related pollutants,” officials from New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) noted. Those pollutants can worsen asthma, trigger heart attacks, and cause early deaths.
