New England could soon adopt plug‑in solar, letting compact panels plug directly into home outlets and expand clean energy access for renters. Lawmakers in Maine, Vermont, NH, MA & RI are advancing bills to make it happen. Read more here: tinyurl.com/3scdtmy3 #CleanEnergy #ClimateNews #ClimateAction

Virginia’s General Assembly advanced bills to define & support agrovoltaics to boost clean energy and protect farmland. The measures would help shape state code to make projects easier to build. Read more here: www.loudounnow.com/news/general...

Loudoun County leaders are beginning to rethink decades of rapid data center growth as controversies over new transmission lines intensify. What was once viewed as an economic win is now raising serious concerns about land use, infrastructure, and community impact. #datacenters #loudouncounty

A new @wired.com article highlights how U.S. data center growth is accelerating emissions, straining water resources, and clustering in regions unequipped to support it. It outlines where future facilities should be built instead to be more sustainable. Hint: it’s not Virginia #sustainability

Loudoun County is reviewing a proposal to pair energy-storage batteries with a new data center. This strategy could be impactful if a good share of the power stored comes from renewables like solar, setting a stronger example for sustainable energy use. #Loudoun #RenewableEnergy

Farming meets solar power in Virginia! The Piedmont Environmental Council is piloting the state’s first agrivoltaics project. Read more about it below! @loudounnow.org #LoudounCounty #Agrovoltaics #SolarPower www.loudounnow.com/news/pec-pil...

Solar power isn’t just a “maybe someday” — it’s becoming a foundation for our clean energy future. This @nytimes.com piece dives into how “Sun Day” activists are pushing to make sunlight a stronger part of America’s energy mix. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/c... #ClimateAction #Solar

PJM’s independent watchdog has issued a dramatic warning: all future data centers in its 14-state region should be required to bring their own power supply. The grid is already maxed out and cannot support additional large-scale demand.

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is voting on Tuesday, July 15th, on whether to rezone 22 acres near Leesburg Executive Airport for up to 742,000 sq ft of new data centers or warehouses/industrial buildings. (1)

Only a handful of data center reform bills put forward passed into the Senate, and of these none passed the State Senate. But our advocacy together with the Data Center Reform Coalition, kept some bad legislation from passing. Why? View our analysis on loudounclimate.org/data-centers/

Our latest blog explores the end of "by-right" data centers, meaning more oversight, more community input, and a shift in how these massive facilities get approved. What does this mean for energy use, the environment, and local policy? Read on: loudounclimate.org/2025/03/20/t... #loudoun
