A bill from Delegate Danica Roem (D-Prince William) to study the impacts of data center development died today in the House of Delegates.

The resolution, HJ522, would have directed the state's Department of Energy be requested to study the impacts of data center development on Virginia's environment, economy, energy resources, and ability to meet carbon-reduction goals.

The measure comes as the Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved the Digital Gateway, more than 800 acres next to Manassas National Battlefield now marked for data center development. The centers -- hundreds of thousands of square feet wide and nearly 100 feet tall -- are server farms that power the internet.
