Hey Canada?!! New York became the first state to pause all construction of massive new AI data centers. The 1-year moratorium applies to data centers using 50 megawatts or more and will not be lifted until “consistent standards” for responsible data center development are set. The ban is intended to address the risks of pollution, rising energy costs, and diminishing water supplies. 1/2 #VanPoli #Vancouver #BCPoli #CdnPoli #energy https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/new-york-is-the-first-state-to-impose-a-data-center-moratorium/
