SUMMARY:Talen Data Center Hearing - Montour County\, PA
DESCRIPTION:Talen Energy Supply\, LLC (Talen Energy) is asking the Montour County Commissioners to rezone over 800 acres of land from zoning as agricultural\, public/semi public or rural residential uses to an industrial use designation.  In response to strong community advocacy\, Talen Energy confirmed that the change in zoning was needed to support a planned data center. \nAfter a robust hearing in November\, 2025\, the Montour  County Planning Commission recommended that the  rezoning request be rejected by the County Commissioners who are the final arbiter of the petition. \nThe County Commissioners are holding a hearing on January 23\, 2026\, beginning 9:30 am at the First Baptist Church 12 Brookside Drive Danville\, PA\, to consider the request.  Additional information about the hearing can be found here. \nVery little information has been made available about the actual data center itself. \nGreen Amendments For The Generations submitted a written comment urging rejection of the rezoning request and plans to be represented at the hearing. \nPlease consider attending the hearing and lending your support to the community.

SUMMARY:Connecticut Amendment Up For a Hearing - Testimony & Written Comments Needed
DESCRIPTION:It’s Time to Testify for Connecticut’s Environmental Rights Amendment\nMarch 4 @ 10:30 am in person\, online or in writing.\nThis is the time to make your voice heard at the CT General Assembly in support of the CT Environmental Rights Amendment! \nThe public hearing is when the legislators are most likely to be listening to and reading what you have to say\, and then what you say goes into the public record! \nHere is the language of the resolution proposing the CT ERA. This is language our team proposed last year\, so we are happy to see strong language again.  To follow the progress of the resolution click here: SJ 37. \n  \nWhat you can do: \nRegister to testify in person or on zoom.  Click here and sign up. \nSubmit written testimony in SUPPORT of SJ 37. Here’s the form to submit written testimony. Select the hearing date (March 4)\, and select SJ37 (the first resolution on the list). \n  \nTemplate for your written testimony: \nI am writing in SUPPORT of SJ 37\, Resolution Proposing an Amendment to the State Constitution Concerning Environmental Rights. \n{Give your name\, town\, and any organization you represent. Add any personal story about why you care about environmental rights.} \n  \nTalking points: \nClean and healthy air\, water\, soil\, and ecosystems\, a clean and healthy environment\, and a safe and stable climate are fundamental human rights and essential to the health and survival of the people of Connecticut. \nThis resolution will put environmental rights before the people in a referendum. This is democracy in action. Let the people decide! \nWith the Federal government rapidly dismantling environmental protections and the Environmental Protection Agency\, establishing these environmental rights in the Declaration of Rights in the Connecticut State Constitution is more important than ever. \nThe CT Environmental Rights Amendment will: \n\nRaise environmental justice to the highest constitutional standing and enforceability\,\nStrengthen our existing laws and address any gaps or loopholes that result in environmental harm\,\nFocus the government on preventing pollution and environmental degradation\, rather than simply permitting it\,\nProtect our environment and climate for both current and future generations.\n\n  \nOnce you have sent your written testimony to the committee\, send a copy to your legislators\, and ask them to co-sponsor SJ 37.  You can find your legislators here.
