A Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans said they would oppose a data center being built near them.

Opposition is so intense, the poll found, that more Americans would rather live near a nuclear power plant than a data center. https://t.co/I7zBGErqlP

TODAY: Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Forest Service announced it will move its headquarters to Salt Lake City, Utah, and begin a significant restructuring of the agency to move leadership closer to the forests and communities it serves.

"Establishing a western headquarters in Salt Lake City and streamlining how the Forest Service is organized will position the Chief and operation leaders closer to the landscapes we manage and the people who depend on them," said Secretary Brooke L. Rollins.

Under the new model, 15 state directors will be distributed throughout the country to oversee Forest Service operations within one or more states. State directors will serve as national leaders with primary oversight of forest supervisors, operational priorities, and relationships with states, tribes, and other partners. Each state office will include a small leadership support team responsible for functions such as legislative affairs, communications, and intergovernmental coordination.
