John Fetterman Has Just Two Words for New York Following Gov. Hochul's Data Center Moratorium

New York Governor Kathy Hochul was the first governor in the nation to issue a moratorium on data centers.

 

"New York is the first state in the nation to enact a moratorium on data centers, pausing construction on new facilities for one year.

An executive order by Gov. Kathy Hochul bans state lawmakers from approving environmental permits for hyperscale data centers. Hochul said Tuesday the pause will give lawmakers time to create a framework to protect residents and the environment. 

Hyperscale data centers contain thousands of computer servers and typically use 50 or more megawatts of power, the equivalent of 50,000 homes, to operate. They also require a steady supply of water to keep cool.

The moratorium only applies to new projects, so ones that were previously approved will still go forward."

Trump backs off 20% toll on ships in Strait of Hormuz, pushes US investments

“I put it out yesterday, I thought it was good. [But] I was called by different people, different countries — kings and emirs, and all of the people that we all know and we all love — and they’ve been, frankly, they’ve been very strong partners,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. 

“And they said ‘We’d love to do it a different way, we’d love to invest in the United States with billions and billions of dollars,'” he added.

Trump explained that while he has long believed the US was taking on more than what was in its interest with the Strait of Hormuz, he struggled with charging a fee “because I don’t think anybody should be able to charge for the strait, or for any other strait relationship in terms of other sections of the world.
