宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗表示,他不希望数据中心开发商在宾夕法尼亚州社区“横行霸道”,并解释了自己周二签署一项限制该州数据中心的行政命令的决定,尽管他此前曾致力于将人工智能数据中心引入宾夕法尼亚州。
周三在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间秀》节目中,夏皮罗表示,他越来越多地看到开发商利用宾夕法尼亚州民众的利益,他称这一认识是通过与选民的沟通得出的。这位民主党州长表示,去年他帮助亚马逊为宾夕法尼亚州的两个数据中心敲定200亿美元投资时,情况并非如此。
“你知道,我坦诚地倾听了民众的声音,”夏皮罗在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间秀》中说道。“我去到社区,听取居民的担忧。我站在宾夕法尼亚州拉克万纳县埃迪·斯塔巴克公园的外野看台,看到一名数据中心开发商想要将数据中心建在家长们坐下来观看球赛的地方,这给社区造成了严重破坏。就在我家所在的蒙哥马利县一处人口非常密集的区域,有一个拟建项目距离我家仅约7英里,一名开发商对社区不屑一顾,根本不听民众的声音。这些都不是我想要在宾夕法尼亚州落地的项目。”
被视为2028年总统大选潜在候选人的夏皮罗坚称,这与政治无关,而是关乎宾夕法尼亚州的民众。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻/舆观最新民调显示,全美选民对数据中心持怀疑态度。美国人反对在自家附近新建数据中心的比例远高于支持比例,尽管绝大多数人也承认自己对数据中心仅略知一二或一无所知。
数据中心是装满联网计算机服务器、存储驱动器和其他相关设备的设施,可处理从电子邮件流量到软件运行的各类事务。随着人工智能的快速发展,对这类存储和处理能力的需求激增。
“我不希望开发商在我们的社区横行霸道,”夏皮罗说道。“去年我与亚马逊合作将这两个数据中心引入宾夕法尼亚州时,情况并非如此。但越来越多的开发商看到了利用宾夕法尼亚州民众的机会,我不会允许这种情况发生。”
夏皮罗的行政命令将新数据中心的环境、能源和社区成本纳入考量,为所有新数据中心建立了严格的审查流程,要求它们自备电力,并需要获得市政批准。
“我们见过太多开发商,试图用这些永远不会落地的投机性交易破坏我们的社区,给我们的邻居造成严重破坏,”夏皮罗说道。“我不希望他们在宾夕法尼亚州落户。如果你有一份认真的提案,且得到当地社区的支持、能够保护我们的环境、自备电力,那么我们愿意与你交谈、与你合作。这就是我们如今在该州推行的计划,其严格程度为全美之最。”
谈及美国国内的政治风向变化,《哥伦比亚广播公司早间秀》主持人盖尔·金询问夏皮罗对美国民主社会主义者组织(DSA)的看法,该组织在本届选举周期中取得了一些引人注目的初选胜利。
“是的,我认为我们需要看看大选会发生什么,”夏皮罗说道。“但同样明确的是,目前选民群体中充满了热情,大家都渴望击败唐纳德·特朗普的混乱、残忍和腐败,人们正以创纪录的数量参与投票。我们政党内部当然会有意识形态之争,未来将就这些理念展开真正的辩论。但我们必须专注的是在这些中期选举中获胜,击败唐纳德·特朗普及其帮凶。”
Shapiro on placing guardrails on AI data centers in Pennsylvania: “I don’t want developers running roughshod”

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro doesn’t want data center developers “running roughshod” in Pennsylvania communities, he said, explaining his decision to sign an executive order on Tuesday limiting data centers in the commonwealth, after he previously worked to bring AI data centers to Pennsylvania.
Appearing on “CBS Mornings” on Wednesday, Shapiro said that increasingly, he’s seeing developers take advantage of Pennsylvanians, a realization he said he reached through conversations with his constituents. That wasn’t the case, the Democratic governor said, when he helped secure a $20 billion investment from Amazon for two data centers in Pennsylvania last year.
“You know, I listened candidly,” Shapiro said on “CBS Mornings.” “I showed up in communities and heard the concerns of neighbors. I stood in the left-field line of Eddie Staback Park in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, and looked where a data center developer who was wreaking havoc on a community wanted to put their data center right where the parents would be sitting watching a ball game. I’m just about 7 miles away from a proposed project in a really densely populated area here in Montgomery County, where a developer is just thumbing his nose at the community, not listening to folks. These are not the kind of projects I want in Pennsylvania.”
Shapiro, who is considered to be a potential 2028 presidential candidate, insisted this isn’t about politics, but about the people of Pennsylvania. Voters throughout the country, according to recent CBS News/YouGov polling, are skeptical of data centers. Americans are far more likely to oppose new data centers in their area than support them, although the vast majority also admit they know only a little or nothing about them.
Data centers are facilities filled with networked computer servers, storage drives and other related equipment that process everything from email traffic to software. Demand for that kind of storage and processing power has skyrocketed with the rapid development of AI.
“I don’t want developers running roughshod across our communities,” Shapiro said. “That’s not what happened a year ago when I did work with Amazon to bring those two data centers here in Pennsylvania. But increasingly, developers see an opportunity to take advantage of Pennsylvanians. I won’t let it.”
Shapiro’s executive order takes into consideration the environmental, energy and community costs of new centers, establishing an intense review process for any new centers, requiring them to provide their own power, and requiring municipal approval.
“We’ve seen too many developers who are trying to bulldoze our community with these speculative deals that are never going to come into reality, and they’re wreaking havoc on our neighbors,” Shapiro said. “I don’t want them here in Pennsylvania. If you’ve got a serious proposal that enjoys the support of the local community, that protects our environment, that generates power, then we’re willing to talk to you and engage with you. And that is our plan here in the commonwealth now with the strictest requirements in the entire country.”
On the shifting political winds in the country, “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King asked Shapiro for his thoughts on the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, who have had some notable primary wins this cycle.
“Yeah, I think we have to see what happens in the general election,” Shapiro said. “But what’s also clear is there is a ton of passion in the electorate right now, and a desire to defeat Donald Trump’s chaos and cruelty and corruption, and people are showing up in record numbers. Our party is going to certainly have an ideological battle. It’s going to have a real debate over these ideas going forward. But the thing we’ve got to focus on is winning in these midterms and defeating Donald Trump and his enablers.”
