New York Legislature Approves Temporary Ban on Large Datacenters
The New York state legislature has approved a one-year moratorium on large datacenters, targeting facilities over 20MW. The measure, which aims to address concerns about the environmental and economic impacts of datacenters, now awaits the governor's decision. The moratorium is part of a broader pushback against datacenters across the U.S., with residents expressing concerns about higher utility bills and environmental effects. The bill requires an environmental impact report and sets new standards for labor, energy efficiency, and transparency.
