Possible Piketon data center emissions worry residents, city

ATHENS, Ohio — The scope of the data center project in Piketon has some residents concerned about potential downwind emissions affecting Athens County. Councilmember Beth Clodfelter (At-Large) read an email from Aaron Leatherwood, outlining his concerns about pollution from the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus . This project will transform the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant into the largest data center in the world according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Power for the facility will be provided by a 9.2 gigawatt natural gas-fired power plant. “The developer is attempting to rush the project and is hoping to go from application to power production in under two years,” Leatherwood wrote. “The project is not receiving the scrutiny that it needs to receive, particularly in regards to downwind health.” Of particular concern to Leatherwood is the decision by the developers to utilize conventional gas-turbines rather than the cleaner and more efficient combined-cycle gas turbines. “Their efforts to mitigate the scale of this project are limited and constrained by the technologies they are choosing, and it will be far harder to change once this plant is built,” Leatherwood continued. While Clodfelter did not read the rest of Leatherwood’s email out loud, Leatherwood made “a

Ross, Pike County data centers differ greatly in size, power and water use

CHILLICOTHE— Data centers, data centers, data centers. Between the proposed data center in Chillicothe and the data center being built in Pike County it can feel like all anyone is talking about is data centers. That doesn't even begin to include all the conversations about the other data centers being built and either supported or protested by communities around the country. With so much talk, it is easy to get confused, especially when you are talking about two sites so close together, like the ones in Ross and Pike counties, which are less than 40 miles apart. Both of these projects involve turning brownfield sites into data centers, but that is largely where the similarities stop. Based on what project leaders from both sites have said, the centers will vastly vary in size, energy and water usage and more. Ross County The proposed data center in Chillicothe would be built on the former paper mill site, which is owned by U.S. Paper Mill, which is leasing the land to Alignment Engine. During a public meeting in September , David Stanfill with Alignment Engine said the proposed data center for Chillicothe is expected to be 6.5 acres in size, offer around

‘WKRP In Cincinnati’ Turkey Drop Is Happening For Real This Thanksgiving, With One Big Change

The ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ turkey drop is coming to life in Ohio this Thanksgiving, with a twist that keeps Arthur Carlson’s famous disaster from repeating. Every Thanksgiving for nearly half a century, somebody has quoted Arthur Carlson. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly” closed out “Turkeys Away,” the WKRP in Cincinnati episode that first aired on CBS on October 30, 1978, and it has been repeated at dinner tables, in break rooms and on radio stations ever since. Now a real station carrying the WKRP call letters plans to stage the turkey drop for real, on the night before Thanksgiving.
