Pinelands Alliance urges Gov. Sherrill to place moratorium on large-scale data centers in online petition

Pinelands Alliance launched an online petition urging Gov. Mikie Sherrill to place a three-year statewide moratorium on the approval and construction of large-scale data centers. It cites DataOne Vineland, a data center located in Vineland, as an example of failed environmental assessment, community input, and regional evaluation. The petition explains that a moratorium would allow the state to evaluate environmental, energy, and public health risks associated with data centers, and set statewide standards for siting, noise, energy sourcing, and environmental protection.
