西弗吉尼亚州布恩县数据中心项目悄悄获批 州政府未公开宣布引争议
西弗吉尼亚州消息，西弗吉尼亚州商务厅在未公开宣布的情况下，批准了布恩县一个大型数据中心园区的认证，《查尔斯顿公报》11月7日披露了这一消息。商务厅在9月30日的信函中，向休斯敦能源基建开发商LM Core能源服务公司发放了“高影响数据中心”认证，回应其8月17日提交的申请。该项目代号“乡村路”，选址在丹维尔市谢弗路5151号的前霍比特矿场旧址，占地约3557英亩，预计用电需求约1.4吉瓦，文件显示其远期规划最高可达10吉瓦、8000英亩。认证文件将拉斯维加斯人工智能基建企业TensorWave列为预期租户。根据州长莫里西推动、州议会2025年3月通过的众议院2014号法案，开发商的意向书依法保密，公众无法知晓项目存在，也就无从申诉。众议院少数党领袖助理凯拉·扬批评说：“公众想申诉，却连项目存在都不知道，怎么申诉？”商务厅发言人则称，依法经济开发项目在最终批准前均保密。LM Core首席执行官贾雷特·刘易斯表示，公司正在“探索潜在开发”，细节敲定前分享为时尚早。
Boone County Data Center Campus Quietly Certified in West Virginia; Lack of Public Announcement Draws Criticism
WEST VIRGINIA — West Virginia's Department of Commerce certified a large data center campus in Boone County without any public announcement, the Charleston Gazette-Mail disclosed on November 7. In a September 30 letter, the department issued a "high-impact data center" certification to Houston-based energy infrastructure developer LM Core Energy Services, responding to its August 17 application. The project, code-named "Country Road," sits on the former Hobbit mine site at 5151 Shaffer Road in Danville, covering about 3,557 acres with expected power demand of about 1.4 gigawatts; documents show long-term plans of up to 10 gigawatts and 8,000 acres. The certification lists Las Vegas AI infrastructure firm TensorWave as the expected tenant. Under House Bill 2014, championed by Governor Morrisey and passed by the legislature in March 2025, developers' letters of intent are confidential by law, so the public could not know the project existed, let alone appeal it. House minority leader assistant Kayla Young criticized the arrangement: "The public wants to appeal, but they don't even know the project exists — how can they appeal?" A Commerce spokesperson said economic development projects are confidential by law until final approval. LM Core CEO Jarrett Lewis said the company is "exploring potential development" and that it is too early to share details before they are finalized.
