Fantastic editorial calls for statewide moratorium on data centers in New York. Let’s get this done this session! www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...
NY state should seize the initiative on regulating AI data centers (Editorial Board Opinion)
Local governments, hungry for tax revenue, are not equipped to make the policy tradeoffs necessary to protect all New Yorkers from energy price spikes, grid instability.

Your semi-regular reminder that Tuberville was perhaps the dumbest coach in college football before he became our dumbest senator.
Sen. Tuberville: "Hell, we ain't done anything in the majority. Why should we keep the majority? We've got one bill passed and that was President Trump pushing and pushing and pushing. It's embarrassing."
It's hard to read this piece on Lee Zeldin destroying the EPA's core mission and not think of the parallels to @governor.ny.gov attacking the climate law using essentially the same rhetoric . . . t.co/EtlUzOrU2a

🎯 Right now is the time for NYers to make a call to your state assemblyperson and senator and urge them to reject Governor Hochul’s attack on NY’s climate law. Hochul’s attack would *raise* our utility bills because gas is expensive. Call NOW!
Everyone talking about the affordability in the US should check out what Spain's efforts to turbocharge renewables has done to reduce the way expensive fossil fuels drive up the price of electricity. (looking at you #mapoli)
NEW | Surging wind and solar power helped make electricity in Spain CHEAPER than in most European countries. 📈 As wind and solar grows… 📉 …The influence of costly fossil fuels on the electricity price shrinks https://loom.ly/8DEmqVc
As @governor.ny.gov spends the day at yet another corporate lobbyist event, NY’s climate movement was right there urging her to abandon her cynical attempt to gut NY’s climate law.
Fossil fuels aren't just destroying our livable climate, they're also expensive as hell!
The national average price of gasoline in the U.S. has reached $3.90 per gallon, while diesel has climbed to $5.09 per gallon. It now looks like gasoline will hit $4/gal next week and could head toward $4.10/gal and beyond.
Well none of the environmental groups/activists will say this, so @governor.ny.gov has to simply sing her own praises (as she relentlessly attacks the climate law)
So . . . when the data centers are asking for $11.7 million in subsidies per promised job, maybe this isn't type of economic development NY needs? investigativepost.org/2026/03/18/s...
