A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

      American Chestnuts are so rare I almost replied to your comment to say there’s no way those are American Chestnuts, just Chestnut trees in America. Then I read the article. Holy shit.

      Not sure why you used google links. Here are the non-google links:

        Probably rhetorical question but they used google links because they use the google app, which tracks every link you share. Don’t use the google app, folks

    What do you call a pair of nuts on your chest? Chestnuts… and what do you call two balls on your chin? That’s right! A data center in your mouth.

    No More, just no fucking more. This is catastrophic.

    The datacenter must be considered a liar until proven otherwise. These trees are too important to take a corporation with no morals at its word.

    American’s talk about heritage. These trees are actual american heritage, we can’t let them be cut down.

      The govenor now plans to move the 50 year old chestnut trees. Those trees are likely between 75 and 100 ft tall. I have no idea how many will survive the move, but I can’t imagine its a high percentage.
