U.S. data centers could use 12% of national electricity by 2028!

A 1-gigawatt data center campus can cost over $10 billion to build.

Before becoming governor, Hochul represented NY-26, which includes Niagara Falls. The Love Canal disaster there — where a school was built over a toxic waste dump — directly led to the U.S. Superfund law in 1980.
