AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 minutes ago

Data Centers vs. Communities: A new report says about 75 U.S. data center projects worth roughly $130B were halted or postponed in Q1 2026, as local bans and moratoriums spread after residents raised alarms about power, water, noise, and pollution. Grid Fast Lane: In a related federal move, FERC ordered major grid operators to fast-track data center interconnection requests—but the order doesn’t solve the bigger problem of limited generating capacity. Maine PFAS Research: MaineHealth won a five-year, $1.1M NIH grant to study how PFAS exposure affects children and to mentor the next generation of environmental health clinician-scientists. PFAS in Maine Fish: Maine issued new fish consumption advisories after PFOS showed up in Sandy Stream (Freedom/Knox/Unity) and the Sebasticook River (Winslow). Public Safety Tech: A newly revealed DHS plan would let local police use an ICE facial recognition app that scans faces against 250M+ government records and stores photos for 15 years. Ocean Science Reprieve: The NSF halted further dismantling of ocean observatories off Alaska, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, and Greenland, keeping key arrays operating. Education Governance: Maine’s citizens’ assembly in Bangor advanced recommendations on K-12 education priorities after expert panels and delegate proposals.
