Last night we came out with Climate & Clean Air Coalition pushbuffalo Sierra Club the alliesoftsn, and the to tell govkathyhochul Governor Kathy Hochul WE NEED A DATA CENTER MORATORIUM!!! Proposed data centers in NYS would use **two times!!!** as much energy as NYS is currently using. Madness!! Worst of as is the Strem proposal for the STAMP Plant - right next to the Tonawanda Seneca and 3wildlife refuges. The town of Alabama is clearly against it as well.
