Prop 45 limits environmental and public review of projects like data centers, pipelines, and industrial warehouses.
Prop 45 limits environmental and public review of projects like data centers, pipelines, and industrial warehouses.
The corporate polluters behind Proposition 45 say it expedites environmental review for "certain projects." But for greedy corporations, "certain projects" means creating a massive loophole that would fast-track polluting projects like data centers, pipelines, and industrial warehouses with less oversight and less input from the public.
“This initiative means more toxic pollution in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on. We know that leads to higher rates of asthma, greater risk of cancer, and more families living next to industrial projects that were never proven to be safe."
“At a time when our air quality is at grave risk to federal clean air rollbacks ... Proposition 45 would invite even more pollution into California neighborhoods."
“[Prop 45] shifts pollution cleanup costs and healthcare costs from developers onto taxpayers and local governments. It guarantees more risk and more cost, not less.”

When a county judge put the brakes on what would be the largest data center in California, ruling the whole project needed extensive environmental review, Kristian Salgado was relieved. ...
Now, Salgado and others who share her concern believe Proposition 45 on the November ballot could roll back their wins. The initiative changes the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, a law intended to inform decision makers and the public about a project’s possible environmental impacts — and mitigate them to the extent possible.
