Food & Water Watch New York

100+ New York Groups Call for Passage of Data Center Moratorium Bill "The explosive growth of data centers is one of the biggest affordability and environmental threats of our generation."

The rapid build-out of data centers risks driving up energy bills for New Yorkers while undermining the ability to meet our climate goals and burdening our communities with enormous water withdrawals, all while creating few permanent jobs. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/03/02/1...

Climate versus affordability Democrats who support New York’s 2019 climate law are up in arms over the renewed posturing from Gov. Kathy Hochul on the costs of the law.

More than 100 organizations have signed a letter in support of a three-year moratorium on data centers in New York to protect our communities, environment, and health. The legislature must pass a data center moratorium this year! www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Despite the cold, New Yorkers showed up in Peekskill to demand the State Senate put Bucks for Boilers in the Senate One House budget to fund our climate law and lower our energy bills. Bucks for Boilers will save households 100s of dollars and reduce our homes' carbon emissions! #climatecrisis
