MIDDLETON ⁠TOWNSHIP, OHIO - From the front window of her house, Breanne Kidd once watched the sun rise over farmland as she sipped coffee before toddlers arrived at her home daycare.Over the past year, that view has been replaced by cranes, steel and dust as work crews build Meta’s 324-hectare Bowling Green data center. More alarming was the appearance of something Kidd hadn’t been told about: construction of a large natural gas power plant meant to serve the project.“It’s not like we’re two streets away.

We’re literally across the street,” Kidd said, pointing toward the Apollo Generating Station site, located in Wood County, about 40.2 kilometers south of Toledo. “I’m living next to a threat.”
