@moreperfectunion: This farm in upstate New York almost had a data center move in right next door, but then NY got the first statewide data center moratorium in the country. We went with Rep. AOC and Governor Kathy Hochul to talk to farmers who are thrilled the data center wasn't built, and who are still on alert for what happens when the moratorium expires.

Build them on the Alaska coast. Tons of cold water for cooling. Build nuclear reactors to power them, so no need for a power grid.

Fishkill is in the mid hudson valley! Hardly upstate NY. I haven’t seen any farms in Fishkill in 50 years

If there's a drought, these companies expect the residents be cut off so the data center can keep running. Insanity

There’s no need for Data centers to be all over the country. Data moves through the internet. If they wanna build something start optic fiber throughout the country. You know, something that would actually improve this country.

do the data centers make the land unusable for farms when they leave? Are they leaking something into the soil?

If you’re coming to NY bring your own power - absolutely. Let communities negotiate these deals from a place of advantage

They dont want data centers because there is no subsidies involved. Without those there is no skim for politicians.
