Hi all,



The city of Riverside is currently considering a ban to data centers within
the City of Riverside. We at the EDGE institute have put together a letter
in support of that ban as data centers have enormous environmental impacts
and building data centers in Riverside make little sense. The full
justification for our support of the data center ban in is the letter which
you can read and sign here (

and

Thank you for considering supporting this cause and please feel free to
pass this along to anyone else at UCR you think would be interested in
signing.



Cheers,

Marko
