Paul Renner is advocating for a moratorium on data centers in Florida, citing potential increases in electrical costs and environmental concerns. He argues that developers must prove sustainable practices regarding power and water use, stating, "Not on my watch" in reference to potential negative impacts on the aquifer.
Renner also supports requiring parental consent for AI technologies in schools and an opt-in requirement for AI instructional tools.
