New York's data center freeze may not hold up like its fracking ban did

Pennsylvania kicked one fracking company out of the area for more than a decade. It just couldn't keep it out for good. It came back in late 2023, and by the next year, Texas-based company Coterra was running lines beneath dozens of homes in Dimock, Pa., including the one where local resident Victoria Switzer, a former schoolteacher, paints, according to Mother Jones. The noise from the construction and truck traffic have kept her up at night. "They are cutting up the valley like Swiss cheese," she said. "We came here to enjoy nature, and this has just torn our lives apart."
