Maryland Governor Moore shifts stance on data center expansion
Original: Moore wanted to ‘supercharge’ Maryland data centers. Now he’s changing course.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who previously pushed to 'supercharge' data center development in the state, is now backing away from that position. The shift marks a notable change for an administration that had positioned data centers as an economic growth driver. It comes amid growing scrutiny of data centers' energy demands, water use and impact on local communities across the country.
Why now: Governors' stances on data centers are shifting nationally as concerns grow over their energy and environmental costs.
