Million-dollar fines won’t end billionaires’ data center pollution, neighbors fear.

    Fine them one million a day until the generators are done. That should motivate them a bit more.

      They were already in violation. The days should count from the day they were installed, or from the earliest day it was confirmed as not yet installed.
