Stop Artificial Intelligence from Destroying Rural Pennsylvania
To: Gov. Shapiro
From: A constituent in Easton, PA
May 14
I have always supported you. You have been a great leader for our state and I thought you were the best VP candidate. I am writing to urge you to TAKE A STAND against Artificial Intelligence Data Centers.
You have LOST MY SUPPORT on the Artificial Intelligence Data Center Issue. We the People Don’t Want Data Centers. It’s that simple. We as a society cannot afford them. They are built to TAKE OUR JOBS and MAKE BILLIONAIRES even more wealthy. They pollute and make noise 24/7 - all harmful to humans and animals with NO BENEFITS to local communities. We don’t want their corrupt Tech Bro Billionaire dollars in our towns.
You MUST turn this around for the good of the PA Democratic Party. I am an elected Auditor in Lower Mt. Bethel, PA (Northampton County). I am an elected Dem Committee member. I can tell you that DEMOCRATS ARE TURNING AGAINST YOU IN DROVES on this issue.
I don’t know why you are encouraging Artificial Intelligence to come in and ruin our state - it makes no sense. Entire states and smart elected leaders across the US are proposing BANS and MORATORIUMS on AI Data Centers - because they are so DESTRUCTIVE AND UNAFFORDABLE AND TOXIC that we’ve all identified we need to PAUSE until we can properly regulate and build and a scale that works for local communities.
If you DO NOTHING and continue to ignore your constituents, AT LEAST take a stand to SUPPORT those of us in RURAL AGRICULTURAL communities who wish to prioritize Agriculture as our primary industry an prohibit outsized AI Data Centers from ruining our farmland.
