Two towns within Cayuga County, New York, are reportedly contemplating the implementation of moratoriums on new data center construction. The primary concern driving these discussions is the potential for significantly increased electricity costs for residents if data center developments proceed.
In a separate but related development, prominent environmental activist Erin Brockovich has announced plans to launch a new mapping tool. This tool will aim to track the locations of AI data centers across the country, with an emphasis on investigating their broader environmental and community impacts.
