Tucker County, W.Va., residents fight gas-powered data center

Residents and the group Tucker United oppose Fundamental Data's proposed Ridgeline campus in Tucker County, W.Va., whose roughly 785-megawatt power plant would run mainly on natural gas with diesel as backup. Plans call for an initial 291 acres, which local news reports say could grow to 10,000, and an astronomy club analysis found it could raise sky glow near Blackwater Falls State Park by 528%.
