Surrounded by the pristine natural beauty of Mount Shasta and the sweeping landscapes of Siskiyou County in California, locals and visitors alike have always cherished our area’s unparalleled environment. Our communities have been blessed with abundant clean water and pristine air, resources that have enriched our families and  our way of life for generations. It’s this profound connection to our environment that has inspired many to fight relentlessly to preserve and protect what makes Mount Shasta truly remarkable.

However, there is talk of this beloved corner of California facing a significant threat.
Plans are being considered to establish a data center in our community. Decisions of such magnitude cannot proceed without full transparency and active public participation.
Each one of us deserves a voice in such a pivotal decision. Any proposed data center poses risks of environmental degradation, a strain on our water resources, potential pollution to both the air and water, and changes to the landscape we hold dear.

Data centers, by nature, require extensive cooling systems and substantial water usage, diverting these precious resources from their natural path and potentially depleting local supplies. Beyond that, the intensive energy demands of a data center can lead to increased pollution and strain on local infrastructure, consequences our community simply cannot afford.

Additionally, the presence of a data center is likely to trigger construction and noise pollution, disrupting the peacefulness and tranquility that makes Siskiyou County a beacon for those seeking refuge from urban chaos.

Our community deserves transparency, information, and a platform for dialogue. It's essential that Mount Shasta and Siskiyou County officials conduct a comprehensive assessment of environmental impact and engage residents in meaningful consultations before proceeding. The beauty, peace, and ecological health of our community are at stake, and we must not stand idly by.

Please join us in urging the County of Siskiyou and the community of Mount Shasta to halt the establishment of a data center until these critical issues are thoroughly examined and addressed, and meaningful public input is included in the decision-making process. Your voice can influence the outcome and help protect our precious environment for generations to come. Sign this petition and demand due diligence in safeguarding our community's future.
