@FWWNewYork @LShindell @EricWeltman @LizKrueger @Gonzalez4NY @AMKelles @dinerdialogues @NYRenews @LWVNYS @NAACPNYS @seneca_lake @AARPNY @greenwatchdogNY Tons more I could/should thank, but for now, just a note that the fight isn't over, and it's by no means obvious that @GovKathyHochul will sign it.

But, when we fight, we win, and the fight moves there now. Join us in telling her to sign it here: https://t.co/5V12QlbPul

Assembly just passed a moratorium on data centers in NY. Senate expected to follow suit shortly.

Great ready for a big thank you thread!

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

@FWWNewYork @LShindell @EricWeltman @LizKrueger @Gonzalez4NY @AMKelles @dinerdialogues And of course none of this happens without a huge, diverse coalition pushing to pass this -- huge thank you to everyone in @NYRenews, and to @LWVNYS, @NAACPNYS, @seneca_lake, @AARPNY @greenwatchdogNY, and all the groups who made this happen!

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

@_rebeccaclewis @PolicyEngineer Also, the waterless fracking was basically made up and isn't happening anywhere.

But also, more fundamentally: stopping bad things is good!

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

I'm genuinely surprised Republican Assembly Members are debating against a data center moratorium bill in NY right now. Any Dem challengers should save this debate! The polling couldn't be clearer on this issue.

Nice touch here, whoever did this.

What's great about this endorsement is that if you love the Cowboys (as I sadly do) you hate Jason Garrett, and if you hate them (like most people) you also hate Jason Garrett.

There are, however, also people who don't know who Jason Garrett is.

[Michele Tafoya @Michele_Tafoya]

.@JasonGarrett has spent his life around winners as an NFL player, a head coach, and now a broadcaster.

He's known me for 25 years. He knows my character, my values, and exactly why I'm running.

I'm deeply grateful for his support and his kind words.

Minnesota needs a Senator who believes what she says and acts on what she believes. That's my commitment to you.

N.Y. Assembly speaker on 1-year data center moratorium: 'We intend to pass it' https://t.co/g2Nisyztwi

[Senator Patricia Fahy @PatriciaFahy46]

Great news - we need to put the brakes on #datacenters while we establish appropriate guardrails to protect energy and water usage.

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

In 9 months the American public swung 49 (!) points against AI data centers!

No one wants these things!

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

“The public has swung 49 points against data centers in just nine months, underscoring the heightened political salience of the facilities and the AI industry that they embody.”

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

@demsocsean @QueensForBernie Good point. A general election would surely have been very close . . . oh wait.

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Hey, this does not seem great.

[Matthew B @boes_]

The U.S. is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure, according to new Census Bureau figures out today (https://t.co/2SonuBrsvY)

[Syracuse City Auditor Alexander Marion @SyracuseAuditor]

Data Centers are threatening communities across New York, hurting water supplies and burdening our energy infrastructure. I was proud to join Assembly Member Anna Kelles to advocate for a moratorium on these facilities in NYS

[Susan Arbetter @sarbetter]

Advocate says proposed N.Y. moratorium on data center construction is important @capitaltonight https://t.co/1HuxLvUmic @EMPIREREPORTNY

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Let’s get it done!

[Dan Clark @DanClarkReports]

And it appears Democrats have come together on a bill that would enact a *one* year moratorium on data centers in place of the originally proposed three years: https://t.co/FWiz807Czs

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

@PeteSikora1 Thanks, that’s so nice! I think it helps that all I do is talk about this stuff all the time.

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

It’s me, on tv, talking about why we must enact a moratorium on data centers now. https://t.co/ywDxa3ysnP
