The Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter said it has worked with several local governments in Nevada to advance moratoria on new data center approvals. The group said it is asking Clark County to pause new approvals while the county determines how, or if, data centers should move forward in the region.
The group’s press conference is scheduled for 8:20 a.m. at the Government Center, ahead of the commission’s meeting at 9 a.m.
