New Jersey fines data center $1.1M after drone pics expose 62 gas generators
New Jersey fined DataOne's Vineland data centre $1.1 million this week for secretly installing and operating unpermitted gas generators in breach of its Air Pollution Control Act. The Guardian and Floodlight News discovered them with a thermal-imaging drone in August: 45 of 62 generators were running. None had the permits required for capacity of 37 kilowatts or more, while actual operating capacity reached 1,982 kilowatts.
