Did you read this, New York is the first US State to ban data centers which would use 50 megawatts or more power

"New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Tuesday pausing new large-scale data center construction for up to a year -- the first building freeze by any U.S. state. The order applies to facilities that would use 50 megawatts of power or more.

In a statement, the governor said that “data center development threatens to hike up utility bills, deplete our natural resources, and create uncertainty for New Yorkers” and that it was her “responsibility to take action and lead.""

Trump said AI data centers could operate their own power generation plants, which is a good idea.

AI is the future stop fighting it and work with it.

New York and California lead in new ideas,some good and some not good, this one is a good move I wish Newsom will pass similar legislation. The price of energy in LA is silly high.

Power is already expensive with AI data centers it can only go higher.

I heard on the news the other day that every time AI responds to a google query (which seems to happen more and more these days), it uses enough power to run a 60 watt light bulb for 1 hour !!!
