Kathy Hochul on Imposing Data Center Moratorium: This Is Not Just the Wild West, Give Us the Time To Get It Right!

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "Let's talk of a federal pause, in fact, in Congress, some, even some Democrats have said that goes too far, that the AI boom is coming, we need to embrace it. So how do -- the AI companies effectively are saying, this is all happening, these data centers are going to go somewhere, why not in your state where we could create some jobs for you? What do you say to that?"
HOCHUL: "I say, you can come within the parameters that we're creating. You know, give us the time to get it right. This is not just the Wild West, you get to pick a huge swath of land in upstate New York, and if you've seen these in person, and I have, they are so massive."
GEIST: "Like towns."
HOCHUL: "And they dominate."
