Scientists are demanding regulators gain more power to deny water permits, force companies to use alternative sources, and crack down on overuse. With hundreds of data centers already online and more on the way, the state is teetering on the edge — one policy official bluntly called it “standing on the ledge.” The report even suggests new data centers may not get permits at all, urging the state to overhaul water permitting, prioritize reuse and surface water, and rethink growth. Governor Spanberger’s office says they’re reviewing it — but tough choices lie ahead to balance tech expansion with water survival.
