    Why are the data centers using diesel?

    That's an Equinix datacenter, they are a public company. Equinix made over a billion dollars last year, on revenue of over 9 billion.

    I think they're good to restore that corner of NJ to the toxic wasteland it already was before the spill.

    You’re not wrong that the meadowlands were incredibly polluted, but the past few decades has seen a great improvement in the ecosystem there. This is a terrible development
