State parks provide us with beautiful, accessible spaces to connect with nature – but the lands they protect often also serve as major carbon storage hubs. Keeping these lands wild is a key line of defense against a changing climate. frontiergroup.org/articles/h…

In 2016, only 13 U.S. states had grid-connected battery energy storage. In 2025, only 13 states did not have battery storage, while the leading state, California, has seen a >100-fold increase in battery storage since 2016. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Three quarters of the permitted diesel generators at Virginia data centers are older, more highly polluting “Tier 2” models. Federal and state laws are plagued with loopholes that could allow their expanded use beyond real emergencies. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Data centers around the country rely on dirty diesel generators for backup power in case of emergencies. But with increasing strain on the grid, pressure to expand their use is mounting. Our new resource explains. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

The EPA is proposing a rule change that would enable “chemical recycling” plants to emit more harmful pollution with less federal oversight. This brings major risks for our communities, our environment and our health, as we explain here: frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Some of the oldest and dirtiest power plants in the nation are staying online to help power data centers. 17 power plants with delayed retirements were responsible for more than 3% of NOx and SO2 pollution from the U.S. electricity sector in 2023. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

New analysis: Increasing electricity demand – in part fueled by the data center boom – is slowing down America’s transition away from the dirtiest, oldest energy sources [thread]

In 2023, power plants with delayed retirements emitted about 33,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and nearly 30,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, more than 3% of all such pollution reported to the EPA that year. frontiergroup.org/resources/…
