Pennsylvania should pause new data center projects until the state adopts new rules for them.

Many large data center projects are proposed in Pennsylvania, and state rules on their siting, power use and water use are limited. A pause would stop new approvals until the state sets rules.

Pause new data center development until clear safeguards are in place to protect Pennsylvania families, communities, farmland, water, and electric rates.
