AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Data Centers & Power Demand: Pennsylvania lawmakers and local officials are pushing back on the fast-track data center boom, citing utility-rate pressure, water use, noise/light impacts, and transparency gaps—while reporting shows nearly half of “fast track” municipalities signed NDAs, limiting public access. AI in Schools: State Rep. Pete Schweyer and colleagues are drafting AI guardrails for K-12, including privacy protections, vendor standards, district AI policies, and limits on using AI for mental/behavioral health services. Energy & Environment: Shell Chemicals Appalachia agreed to a $15M settlement with Pennsylvania DEP over air pollution violations at its Beaver County ethane cracker plant, including a community remediation fund. Industry Legal Watch: Energy Transfer is challenging Pennsylvania’s Clean Streams Law as unconstitutional in a bid to weaken potential criminal exposure tied to a jet fuel spill investigation. Manufacturing Workforce: WashU is joining the State Department’s Foundry School effort to boost U.S. manufacturing capacity, with lectures covering factory design, supply chains, and assembly-line engineering. Corporate Moves: Keurig Dr Pepper is selling its Chobani stake and an Allentown plant for about $925M total, with Chobani taking over production and jobs during the transition.
