Argued Hayward is becoming a 'data center doormat' — four projects totaling 975 megawatts, 28 diesel generators at Eden Landing, and drinking water used for cooling — and urged reasonable limits rather than giving data centers everything they ask for.

Criticized the city's piecemeal approval of data centers like the Eden Landing 77-megawatt project, citing PG&E's 975-megawatt Hayward pipeline, diesel generator emissions versus the Air District's diesel-free-by-2033 goal, and water use impacts.
