AGP Executive Report

Last update: 38 minutes ago

Data Center Fight in Louisville: U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey says he’s “absolutely opposed” to hyperscale data centers, arguing they could drive up electricity, water use, noise, and land impacts—and that families shouldn’t be stuck paying for grid upgrades. A July 8 town hall drew residents and state lawmakers who called for transparency and even moratoriums while rules catch up. Community Pushback on AI Infrastructure: A national day of protest against data centers is planned for July 18, with organizers citing utility costs, water demand, and local control. Local Surveillance Concerns: Newport residents challenged Flock license-plate cameras at a town hall, pressing for stronger oversight and privacy protections. Heat and Drought Watch: A national drought update says conditions are mixed across the Plains, with some improvements tied to recent storms, while other areas remain dry. Food Animal Welfare: A new report says Kroger quietly backtracked its 2016 promise of 100% cage-free eggs by 2025, shifting to 70% by 2030. Kentucky Agriculture Under Heat: AP highlights specialty farmers adapting to extreme heat, including shifting harvest schedules and greenhouse cooling.
