Delaware Coalition for Open Government Calls for Moratorium on Mega Data Centers
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Delaware Coalition for Open Government urges the Delaware General Assembly and governor to implement a statewide moratorium on mega data centers starting in 2026 to allow for public discussion and the development of safety controls. The coalition acknowledges concerns regarding the facilities' energy consumption and impacts, emphasizing the need for informed public debate and statewide controls to ensure equitable treatment across counties. They expect media involvement to facilitate information sharing on data center proposals and governmental actions in other states.
