Tompkins County Calls for Thorough Review of TeraWulf AI Data Center in Lansing
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Tompkins County Legislators have passed a resolution calling for a thorough review of TeraWulf's proposed AI data center in Lansing, expressing concerns about public transparency, water quality, and energy prices. The resolution urges the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to reject a water use permit renewal and initiate a new permit process, as TeraWulf's existing permit would significantly reduce water withdrawal. Legislator Mike Sigler opposed the resolution, fearing it could unintentionally facilitate further permit use.
