  I feel that we have to much development going on in south Jersey we are loosing green space including farms and trees. We are also in a major drought effecting our water usage water supply this could effect our crops and our well being. Please stop

• Susan Zammit

  Preservation of land and water are paramount in maintaining resources for generations to come. Our predecessors must have clean water and open lands for sustenance to ensure life continues long after data centers become obsolete.

• Doug Anderson

  Don't want data centers until they are properly investigated!!

• Louise Sampson

  Vehemently opposed to the impact on our communities without meaningful stidies

• Maureen Reisinger

  Only Thoughtful, well studied and planned industrial expansion including data banks should be considered prior to approvals.

• Julie Rockhill

  Structures that use our water at the rate of millions of gallons PER DAY are detrimental and unacceptable. Also the " noise factor" and other health risks for homes that are in close proximity...including the surrounding wild life and the destruction of our land.Please stop!!!

• Mairead Jensen

  We respectfully ask you to enact a three-year moratorium on new data center approvals in New Jersey while the State conducts a comprehensive review of their impacts. Regards, Mairead Jensen

• Nancy Paley

  I am passionate about the development of too many data centers.

• Dorothy Dayton

  We need to preserve our land an water ways.

• Eve Adams

  My utility bill is astronomical. Data Center costs should not become the burden of NJ households. Let those from big business who want to put Data Centers in our state to pay for them, not New Jerseyans. It's an unfair burden. Many believe, as I do, that Governor's response to the issue of Data Centers is thus far, inadequate.

• Carol Gibson

  I wouldn’t want a data center in my town I already can hear the one that’s 38 miles away from me an I am concerned for everyone that has to live near them I am against any data centers being built in our garden state

  there has been enough environmental damage done to NJ. let’s not add another. if these data centers “have” to be a thing, put them in sparsely populated parts of the country, not the overpopulated northeast.

• Gail Murray

  I feel strongly that environmental concerns and residential concerns should weigh much more heavily on state government’s collective mind than the advancement of the tech industry.

  Heavy groundwater withdrawals, possible PFAS contamination and energy use will have cascading impact on power grids, aquifers and nearby communities.

• Carolynn Bruninghaus

  They are a drain on resources residents need and raise the rates resident pay, they create noise, groundwater pollution that would be extremely dangerous to our water supply. In addition they decimate property values. Put residents first for once, instead of burdening your over taxed population making more people flee NJ.

  STOP THE DATA CENTERS STOP THE WAREHOUSES STOP THE AFFORDABLE HOMES. This is no longer the garden state. It's the warehouse state.

• Steven Smith

• Stephanie Gardner

  I and my husband are life long residents of New Jersey. We are tired of big businesses using the land in NJ for their benefit of making money for themselves. NJ is not extending any invitation to any of these companies to come and destroy our beautiful state for their benefit. I think if they want to build there unsightly data centers they should look for a place to put them in their own back yards. Stop abusing our water resources and making it unbearable for us to live as we use to not like big corporation's want us to live without asking. There are many home that do not have city water and rely on our own wells for our water consummation. I really hope that Governor Sherrill succeeds in stopping these big companies from destroying our beautiful state of New Jersey. Thanks, Stephanie Gardner

• Howard Schwartz

  These centers take and don't give.

• Barbars Kayser

  AI needs an ordinance or law To govern what it can do and Cannot do. AI is not sophisticated enough to plow thru every city and state without regulations. It is a drain on every type of energy possible. Because something is new, does not make AI right to make more Problems than we have here in Lacey or the Sate of New Jersey.

  lacey township needs to be protected from data centers

• Deborah Spataro

  While I access AI for information, I prefer to keep our area as peaceful and natural as possible. In our fast-paced society, I question how and why the 3-year moratorium was chosen. I would be amenable to a shorter or even longer term upon good arguments for either.

• Amy O'Sullivan

  Data centers put billionaires' profits ahead of communities and natural resources. They may seem like an economic good in the short term but they will have lasting consequences for the health of the land and local communities. I am an information professional; no one needs 'AI', especially not at the expense of our water and air.

  I am a 50 year resident of NJ and we are losing too much of our wilderness and our motto "Garden State". We do not need a data center in NJ or anymore warehouses. Please make a difference for our residents and our wildlife.

• Myles Gamble

  Hello, I have many reasons for signing this petition and the need to protect wildlife and the ecosystem. The pinelands specifically are very sacred and have a special place in my heart and this world. Please I am begging for the reconsideration of the state and its representatives. We have enough data centers, if you must build more I strongly advise and demand that there be none built on the land of the Pine Barron's. I promise that the decision to do so would be regretted for the rest of time. Peace and love. All the best. Wanishí

• Michael Hardy

• John King

• Megan King

• Mary Ann Conger

  We need to protect our air, water and land. These massive data centers usually involve clear-cutting acres and acres of trees, which contributes to polluting our air and displacing our native Wildlife. They are also draining our water supply. There is nothing positive about these data centers. They are building them faster than people are able to realize what is happening in their communities. They care about nothing and must be stopped.

• Dani Hood

• Ryan Callahan

  We need to preserve the land we have for the plants and animals that already live there, not build more data centers for a failing industry.

• Ericka Ransom

  I don’t want to lose our water for these data center & I want to protect the environment! These data centers are also Liud & obnoxious!

• Anita DiPietro

  I am concerned about that center in New Jersey because of the massive water consumption, high energy demands, pollution, and health risks, and rising utility costs.

• STEVEN DIGIUSEPPE

  Please, consider the enormous amount of water and electricity demands of these data centers versus the needs of our NJ residents that elected you as our new Governor.

• Austin Rutledge

  We are focusing too much into AI

• Patricia Karpf

  I agree that this should be vetted properly before the Data centers are allowed to be built in NJ and the ramifications of putting it here.

• Haley McCay

  Wildlife, native plant, and water conservation

• Abby Elkins

  Data centers will kill humanity and all of Earth’s creatures off if we continue large scale industrial building without environmental protections. Not only are the chemicals impossible to completely filter out of our drinking water, but also any filtered water returned to our natural bodies of water would be thermally elevated and filtered water is not the same as natural lake or river water. Our wildlife’s livelihoods and the future of the next human generations is much more valuable than any AI, any data center. We are all interconnected deeply, and we cannot ignore the impact that data centers are already having on our entire world’s habitats and natural resources. Please no data centers! Also they emit an irritating sound and frequency that I believe will cause more mental health issues and disrupt the natural cycles of nature like hunting and breeding seasons, as well as the impact on us as humans which is not researched and is hurting all of us. No data centers!!!!!!!!!

• Charlene Schlager

  To stop the development of DATA centers until stricter laws are put into place to protect the environment/wildlife, people's homes and drinking water and reducing energy demands.

• joan baines

  We bought a home 3 yrs. ago. It has well water. We are located within a quarter mile from the proposed Hexa data center & want to stop Hexa from constructing a data center. Even a 1.6 million sq ft warehouse should be prohibited in the pinelands of Monroe, Gloucester County because it is an environmentally sesitive area surrounded by a protected area with dozens of home that depend on well water. Please don’t allow Hexa to build on this property. They should build in an area not dependant on well water. I cannot understand how anyone would allow this to happen. No one wants this in their backyard!

• Nancy Lindquist

  I want there to be more investigation and information regarding data centers and their locations and environmental implications before building data center applications are accepted.

• William Entriken

• Ellen I Entriken

  Concerned about how these centers are seemingly being pushed through without proper analysis of the impacts on environment and surrounding communities, and often without proper notice or disclosure to residents of how they will be impacted. Such is the case with the Kenilworth, NJ facility, that is being rammed through! Unconscionable!

  Data centers pose many environmental problems and pollute our water with pfas and use a lot of power making NJ unaffordable.

• Joseph Petrilli

  I am concerned about the unknown environmental impacts of these proposed data centers. While the potential revenue may be attractive for our township, we must also consider the long-term effects on Mullica Township and the surrounding Pinelands. This is still a relatively new and rapidly growing industry, and many of the environmental impacts are not yet fully understood. History has shown that new industries often bring unforeseen consequences to the environment. Before moving forward, we should take the time to carefully evaluate the potential effects on our natural resources, wildlife, water supply, and quality of life. Mullica Township is known for its beautiful landscapes and its proximity to some of the most unique and largely untouched Pinelands in the country. We should prioritize protecting these natural areas and direct large-scale industrial development to locations that are better suited for it. Let's make sure we fully understand the environmental impacts before making decisions that could permanently change the character of our community.

  Our area is environmentally fragile. We suffer from drought presently, and then extremes in temperatures lately. We need our trees to encourage rain, we need lots of pollinating plants to encourage insect heath, and to keep our native birds alive. We need farmlands so we are not dependent on central food sources of which we have no control. We need to consider the native wild animals and their habitat...we are sharing this time on earth.

  Put a moratoriums on data centers

• Sondra SAUNDERS

  The energy and water demands of these centers are well documented. Our already exorbitant utility costs are impacting all of us which will only be exacerbated with these centers not to mention the impact on our grid. NJ does not have a plan to lower costs with traditional energy sources instead of insisting on wnd and solar solutions that will never meet our demand. I would add, though, that the constant "noise," humming or buzzing from these centers is also a direct negative impact on the quality of life of anyone unfortunate enough to live near one of these centers.

  I grew up living in the Pine Barrens understanding that the aquafir under the Wharton State Forest is a fragile treasure. My family owned and operated a marina on the Mullica River for over 45 years. We were the first company to rent canoes on the Barton, Mullica, and Oswego rivers. This land, its foliage, habitat, history, and clean water reservoirs cannot be handed over to data centers that will destroy this irreplaceable land and dry up our aquifers. Please defend South Jersey against the onslaught of billionaires and their effort to capitalize on public land, national treasures, irreplaceable habitats, personal data, while destroying communities and the American job market. You say you stand for New Jersey and its people, denying access of these lands to the people who want to destroy it is how you prove that you mean it. Thank you.

• Payton Brownell

  We in NJ have a responsibility to protect the over 1 million acres of the largest remaining Atlantic coastal pine barren ecosystem - not just because it houses rare flora, or for the obvious purpose of maintaining its beauty for future generations, but because it is essential in the protecting, recharging, and filtering of the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer we all heavily depend on. Nature, and this ecosystem in particular, would thrive without us - and we would not survive without it.

• Lisa Berg

  To stop the destruction of our Pinelands and all green spaces and farmlands (we’re supposed to be the garden state), to protect the relentless assault on wildlife and to stop the building of these warehouses and data centers when there are already plenty sitting empty even new ones already built!

  New Jersey's biodiversity is a part of our identity.

Turning our land into space age data centers not only destroys natural habitat , it destroys faith in humanity .

  We already know that data centers use enormous water and energy reserves. What we don't know is the toll to the life in the area - humans, plants, and animals. We don't know the long-term effects. This is our opportunity to prevent the kind of damaging long-term illness, cancer, and respiratory damage that resulted from unchecked expansion in previous generations. Don't let this be the new coal or tire factory. Once the data centers go in, they're unlikely to leave easily. Let's slow down and investigate the real costs here.

  I care about the environment

• Lynn Vaughan

  Data centers are pollutants

• Bliss Rubin

  The long-term impact of large-scale data centers on environments and communities can not yet be fully known, but the short-term impacts where they have already been established are trending badly. A lot more research needs to be done into how these data centers will affects the ecosystem for decades to come, how predicted long-term negative impacts can be mitigated, and how the immediate impacts can be better managed and reversed. The varied environments of New Jersey are one of the best things about it, and I won't stand by while those environments are damaged in the name of big business.

• Ellen Southard

  I grew up in the NJ Pinelands. It is a delicate eco system filled with incredible species of flora and fauna. It was meant to be protected, that's why teh Pine Barrens exist. I am a descendent of Samuael Southard the 10th Governor of NJ. I know that the concept of the Pine Barrens land statutes exist to keep development like data centers from ruining the ecological function of this amazing place.

  Nature must be preserved. Data centers are not only damaging to the environments they are built but also natural habitats and communities where residents reside. No more data centers.

• Margarita Smith

  Data centers are an existential threat to the precious ecosystems that we should and need to preserve, not just in New Jersey, but everywhere! Moreover, working class families deserve affordable energy, clean drinking water and peace from the constant impending abuse from the big tech companies who continue to put profit over people.

  It is important to assess the unintended consequences of building data centers prior to their development to protect the citizens of this very densely populated state and out fragile remaining ecosystems .. especially the Pinelands.

• Doris Allen

• Nancy A Kenny

  We need 3 years at a minimum to assess the impact of these data centers on citizens' lives, for example their water quality and electric bills, which are continuing to climb. Also 3 years is needed to see the damage these centers do to the environment they destroy. Thank you

• Cheryl Severini

  Save NJ

• Pamela Adams

  I spend countless hours in the Pine Barrens, there’s no way a data center would ever be a good idea for our beloved woods. We need to protect the water beneath from the back door deals and the greed of the developers of these centers. Protect our fragile woods and the water beneath!!

  Data centers should not be built in mail remedies are ensured to preserve our water, clean environment, and residents should not be liable for subsidizing electricity to these operations. In addition. Pine lands need to be preserved and not utilized for any sort of corporate or businesses that encroach on pine lands. In addition, stricter laws need to be created to keep businesses from purchasing land under false pretenses then flipping them over to data centers.

• Jill Cali

• James F Scanlan

  Until massive data centers can prove that they will not disrupt our water supply, pollute the air, and cause massive concern and worry in communities, THEY SHOULD NOT BE BUILT. At this point, this technology should not be allowed.

  data centers are horrible for the community - the electricity usage is detrimental to the power grid, the water usage is not sustainable, and the noises, both audible and inaudible, are harmful to humans and animals

• Gary Astin Gary Astin

  I am a lifelong resident. I think it is wise to figure out the entire impact to the surrounding area and let the residents see the information and decide whether the data center is wanted. Isnt this the way a democracy is supposed to run? Just saying
