New York May Stop New Data Centers for a Year

New York lawmakers have passed a one-year stop on new data center building.

The governor has not signed the bill yet, but lawmakers say it is to study the effects of new data centers on the environment, energy, and jobs.

If the bill becomes law, companies must hold a public hearing before building a large data center.

Many people do not want new data centers, and lawmakers are taking notice. A similar stop was tried in Maine but was rejected.

Companies that want to build new data centers do not like the stop and want each case to be decided separately. They think a complete stop would hurt the state's economy.

The governor's spokesperson said the governor will review the bill when asked if it will become law.

The topic is about artificial intelligence.
