The 'Stop Data Centers' tour visited Lansing, New York, advocating for the Responsible Data Center Development Act, which passed with bipartisan support. This act mandates environmental studies for data centers over 20 megawatts, while a current moratorium by Governor Hochul halts centers requiring 50 megawatts.
Local officials, including Assemblywoman Anna Kelles, emphasized the need for substantial measures against electronic waste and noise pollution. The tour aims to raise awareness and support for local governance in the face of large data center proposals, exemplified by TeraWulf's 400-megawatt project on Cayuga Lake. The tour will continue to Syracuse on August 29 and conclude on August 30.
