President Trump urged New York on Wednesday to reverse its recent moratorium on permitting and construction of new data centers that consume 50 megawatts or more of power.<\/p>\n

He said Gov. Kathy Hochul\u2019s executive order to restrict data centers will hurt the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built. Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD! New York State has made a terrible decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump warned that all the income and other benefits from the data centers would go toward states largely controlled by Republicans and some states controlled by Democrats, where he said data centers are sought after as \u201ccash cows,\u201d with lower taxes and record-setting job creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community. Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president called on New York to change its policy on data centers \u201cimmediately. \u2026 The Radical Left Dumocrats must not be allowed to cause us to lose Data Centers, AI, and all of this incredible new Technology, to China, and other countries!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Hochul signed the executive order Tuesday imposing the country\u2019s first statewide moratorium, lasting one year, on hyperscale data centers, which house thousands of computer servers and need huge amounts of energy and a steady supply of water to stay cool.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is that progress shouldn\u2019t arrive with a higher utility bill, deleted water supply or noise pollution, so we have no choice but to address these challenges created by these massive facilities,\u201d Ms. Hochul, a Democrat, said at a signing ceremony in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, Maine appeared ready to establish a similar moratorium, but the measure was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills. She said it would have prevented a proposed data center in a town that has struggled after a mill shut down.<\/p>\n

In April, some of Capitol Hill\u2019s left-wing lawmakers seized on mounting opposition to data centers and introduced a bill that would place a moratorium on their expansion \u201cto ensure the safety of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Bernard Sanders, Vermont independent, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, two of the most prominent socialists in Congress, introduced legislation that would pause construction of data centers until \u201cstrong national safeguards are in place\u201d to protect workers from losing their jobs to artificial intelligence technology, ensure privacy rights are protected and address the risk of environmental harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cA moratorium will give us time \u2014 time to understand the risks, time to protect working families, time to defend our democracy and time to make sure this technology works for all of us, not just the very few,\u201d Mr. Sanders said during a press conference announcing the legislation.<\/p>\n
