More than 60 advocacy groups have formally called on New Jersey's governor to immediately pause all AI data center projects in the state, citing concerns over power, water, and land use. The coalition represents a broad range of environmental, community, and civic organizations pressing for a moratorium before additional approvals move forward. The demand reflects accelerating organized resistance to data center expansion across the U.S. northeast. If the governor acts, New Jersey would join a small number of jurisdictions imposing formal pauses on new data center development.
