Hochul’s Data Center Ban Offers Democrats a Playbook

“New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s first-in-the-nation data center moratorium could provide a playbook for other Democrats confronting one of the midterms’ most heated issues,” Axios reports.

“Voters across the country are protesting data centers and looking for politicians to take decisive action to address concerns over the industry’s rapid expansion.”

”Until now, no governor had imposed a statewide data center moratorium. Hochul’s approach — using executive authority while continuing to negotiate over broader legislation — could become a playbook for other governors.”
