The EPA has proposed a rule change that would let states decide how much input the public has on air pollution permits. It would be a huge boon for data centers increasingly reliant on fossil fuels. The Trump administration is quietly considering a rule change that could make it easier for polluters to build facilities--including certain gas plants and diesel generators that power data centers--with little to no notice to the public.

The proposed rollback comes as data centers face greater pushback across the US, with many communities using the permitting process to try to slow down development.

The order specifically pauses state environmental reviews for facilities over 50 megawatts for a year.

If you're looking for the perfect popular science read, we've got you covered Not one for an easy life, Michael Pollan has taken on tricky subjects before in the shape of psychedelics, plants and food. It's taken five years to bring to fruition, but is all the better for that, because, like the subject itself, the book is discursive, expansive - and sometimes abstruse (in a good way). It has one of the best titles of any book on the topic, while its author has the humility to admit that after a journey through sentience, feelings and emotion, thought and self, he knows less than he did when he began. Are we up to the challenges of the 21st century, as its powerful, hyperconnected and pervasive technology drives us ever on?
