I’m writing this letter to ask Governor Maura Healey to follow the lead of New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, and ban data centers from being built in Massachusetts. They use a tremendous amount of our natural resources, and we cannot afford to give those resources up to these data centers. In addition, many of us don’t want AI developed because of what we fear it will do to humans.
One of the many reasons I live in Massachusetts is that it is a practical, well-run state. I truly hope we can have these data centers banned here for our peace of mind.
