PA Dems Intro Multiple Bills to Block AI Data Centers in the State

"Responsible development" is code for "no development" of new AI data centers. The proposed onerous legislation focuses on environmental and community impacts related to the centers' water and energy use, emergency preparedness, community standards, and transparency. Don't be fooled. This is an attempt to throttle new data centers to prevent more natural gas from being used to power them.
