This week, New Jersey ordered the operator of one of the East Coast’s largest planned data centers to pay a $1.1 million fine for secretly installing and operating gas generators in violation of the state’s Air Pollution Control Act.

I’ll bet anything they budgeted for a fine and it was still cheaper than doing it the proper way. Whoever signed the paper to approve the install should be on the hook personally.
NJ should have Public Works seize all of the offending generators with NJSP as backup. No warning, no compensation. Corporate lawlessness like this needs to stop being profitable.
Compounding fines. If they’re not gone in a week double it and fine them again. Continue until they’re removed.
This. They are installed without permit, they will be uninstalled without warning.
We need to stop fining and start taking away privileges. Sorry, you can’t buy/build any fossil fuels any more.
I want the board / ceo to do prison time for shit like this, as well as the contractors that execute the illegal work
