As Meta data center expands, advocates push harder for transparency

Consumer, science, and environmental advocates are urging greater transparency from Meta and Entergy Louisiana regarding the Hyperion data center expansion in Richland Parish, Louisiana. The project, requiring 7.5 gigawatts of electricity and spanning 3,650 acres, is criticized for opaque planning, including nondisclosure agreements and expedited regulatory processes under Governor Jeff Landry's Lightning Speed Initiative.
