AI Data Centers Threaten Finger Lakes | Rochester News

from Rochester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Senator Kristen Gonzalez is rallying communities in the Finger Lakes against a massive AI data center project by Vulcan Infrastructure and Power, warning that these power-hungry facilities could devastate local resources and quality of life. While Governor Hochul’s one-year pause offers temporary relief, activists demand stronger action — including passage of the Responsible Data Center Development Act — to enforce environmental reviews, protect water supplies, and shift costs onto corporations, not taxpayers. Residents are fighting back to reclaim control over their neighborhoods and stop big tech from bulldozing their futures without consent.
