Gov. Kathy Hochul caved to Democrat socialists when she made New York the first state to stop construction of large data centers, critics told The Post. Hochul signed an executive order Tuesday enacting a one-year statewide moratorium on new “hyperscale” data centers that need at least 50 megawatts of power to run — bending the knee to the Democratic Socialists of America, which has made the hubs a big focus of campaigns across the country.
