ECW News: Judges Halts Data Center Project Near Manasass Battlefield
A judge in Prince William County, Virginia, has voided a county rezoning plan that would have paved the way for a series of massive data centers on the edge of Manassas National Battlefield Park.
Prince William County Circuit Court Judge Kimberly Irving’s ruling on Thursday came following a trial back in June. The suit was filed by the Oak Valley Homeowners’ Association and several local residents who live near the proposed site of the data centers.
Blake Myers, who heads the Bull Run Civil War Roundtable’s preservation committee, joined ECW to explain the lawsuit and the impact of the judge’s ruling.
The American Battlefield Trust has more information about the preservation effort to protect the Manassas battlefield from data centers.
Eureka!!!
Yay History!!! Probably just a speedbump to the AI and bitcoin evolution. I heard a soundbite that said today Loudon County Virginia processes 70% of the World’s internet traffic. Not the only battlefield under threat by these megapowers. Stay wary, the consequences to our history are scary.
