Where they stand

Data center regulation: Becker would push Fiscal Court to adopt an immediate moratorium on data centers, followed by a zoning ordinance addressing setbacks, noise limits, and design standards.

Data center water use: Becker would require future data centers to use public water systems for cooling, with utilities certifying that existing customers will not experience harm to water quality, service, or rates.

Data center infrastructure costs: Becker would require data center developers, rather than existing electric customers, to pay for grid and infrastructure upgrades necessitated by their projects.
