only local bans have been enacted.<\/li>\n<li>The executive order temporarily suspends the permitting of new large data centers while directing state regulators to establish comprehensive standards addressing environmental impacts, energy demand, water usage, among other factors.<\/li>\n<li>The moratorium also has political implications for Hochul\u2019s re-election campaign and the state\u2019s contested congressional races as Democrats seek to address the concerns over high utility costs.<\/li>\n<li>Hochul\u2019s Republican opponent, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, opposes the moratorium, advocating for local governments to negotiate economic benefits directly with tech companies for data center projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York won\u2019t build big data centres for a year https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/business\/artificial-intelligence\/2026\/07\/14\/new-york-wont-build-big-data-centres-for-a-year-as-it-weighs-energy-and-climate-risks\/ Publish Date: 2026-07-14 12:21:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":243162,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/resizer\/v2\/BUHYM7YRJOVY7LY4MAXA5UMETQ.jpg?smart=true&auth=65562ad011aa2ec49475a726f964ddb500351e987f098af552a14cc4e49e032d&width=1200&height=630","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-243161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243161"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243161"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":243163,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243161\/revisions\/243163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
