Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

“As data center development threatens \u2060to hike up utility bills, deplete our natural resources, and create uncertainty for New Yorkers, it\u2019s my responsibility to take \u200baction and lead,” Hochul told the New York Times, who said she will also pursue legislation to repeal sales tax exemptions for large data centers.<\/p>\n

Tangent<\/h2>\n

The executive order makes New York the first state to enact such a ban on data centers, even though bipartisan opposition to them has continued to grow among voters. Maine was the first state to pass legislation banning the construction of new data centers until November 2027. However, the state\u2019s Democratic governor, Janet Mills, vetoed the legislation<\/u> in April. Mills said she supports the moratorium, but the legislation did not include a special exemption for a single data center project that would have been built inside a now shuttered pulp and paper mill. Other top Democratic Governors, such as California\u2019s Gavin Newsom<\/u>, Michigan\u2019s Gretchen Whitmer<\/u>, and Pennsylvania\u2019s Josh Shapiro<\/u>, have appeared to support data center buildouts in their respective states.<\/p>\n

What Does Polling About Data Centers Show?<\/h2>\n

A Gallup survey<\/u> published in May found that 71% of Americans are somewhat or strongly opposed to data centers in their communities, a higher share than the 53% who oppose nuclear energy plants. Opposition to data centers is stronger among Democrats, with 75% being somewhat or strongly against them. A majority of Republicans (63%) and Independents (74%) are also opposed to data center construction.<\/p>\n
