alt Hacker NewsDon't worry, they'll just build the data centers in NJ and still considered NY 1-20.
Sarcasm aside, I don't really know where they would build data centers in NYS. Electricity rate in northern and western NY is going thru the roof. ADK/Catskill have very sensitive environmental laws. Can't really build in lower hudson as real estate cost would be killer.

They would build them as close to NYC as possible. Data Centers existed prior to AI boom. HFT, edge hosting, etc.

The Catskills have those environmental protection laws because they are the water source for NYC. It would be very stupid to relax those to build data centers.
