The sudden explosion of AI and crypto data centers across Pennsylvania is devastating our communities, our wallets, and our climate. They are driving up energy demand and fossil fuel pollution, all while raising electricity prices and straining our water resources in already-drought-prone areas.
Senator Katie Muth has introduced legislation for a three-year moratorium on hyperscale data center development. This will give local communities a chance to research and evaluate the risk and impact of data centers, and to update their local zoning laws accordingly.
Urge your state senator to support SB1359, Senator Muth’s data center moratorium bill!
