Gov. Kathy Hochul slammed the brakes on New York\u2019s data center boom Tuesday,\u00a0handing China a gift-wrapped win in the global tech arms race.<\/p>\n

A report stated she would sign an executive order that freezes state permitting for massive AI server farms. It halts new hyperscale data center approvals and orders state regulators to establish rules on energy use, water consumption, and other environmental impacts before any more projects move forward. Hochul framed it as consumer protection, saying she couldn\u2019t sit by while server farms threaten to increase utility bills and drain New York\u2019s water supply.<\/p>\n

But tech industry backers say the real story is who\u2019s actually driving the anti-data-center movement \u2014 and it isn\u2019t people worried about their electric bills.<\/p>\n

House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie and fellow Republicans recently fired off a to the FBI and White House science advisers demanding answers on what they call a coordinated foreign influence campaign involving China.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigations by the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) and Power the Future (PTF) have exposed new information regarding how foreign influence campaigns \u2014 many originating from China \u2014 have engaged in a coordinated effort to slow U.S. growth in AI development and the building of infrastructure supporting AI data centers,\u201d \u00a0they wrote. \u201cEqually sinister, PTF\u2019s report details how billionaire donors filter money through a complex financial web to fund America\u2019s non-profit ecosystem \u2014 often with strong political or ideological leanings \u2014 to skew public opinion against the buildout of AI data center infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, OpenAI reported catching Chinese-linked bot networks using ChatGPT to gin up fake outrage over electricity prices.<\/p>\n

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum didn\u2019t mince words, declaring, \u201cAny place that\u2019s trying to build data centers is getting bombarded with foreign-directed propaganda to try to block these from being built.\u201d Investor Kevin O\u2019Leary, backing a $100 billion Utah project, said his team traced suspicious social media surges to what he flatly called \u201cthe CCP at work.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Facebook group with 170,000 members, \u201cSay NO to Data Centers,\u201d has also become the online engine of the resistance. Its digital mapping guru, George Duarte, who built a nationwide tracker of data center projects, moonlights as a strategist at a D.C. consulting shop whose client roster reads like the Democratic Party\u2019s who\u2019s who \u2014 the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, and the Democratic Governors Association, as The Daily Wire reported.<\/p>\n

Money trails lead straight back to George Soros. Records show Soros\u2019 Open Society Foundations funneled more than $7.6 million to Indivisible, the activist network that has organized data center protests from Texas to California. Soros also poured $23.7 million into the Working Families Party \u2014 the same outfit now recruiting data center opponents to run for office in swing states.<\/p>\n

Swiss billionaire Hansj\u00f6rg Wyss chipped in too, routing another $1 million to Indivisible last year through his Berger Action Fund, according to tax filings. One watchdog group tallied more than $39 million in foreign money flowing to a dozen organizations fighting data centers nationwide.<\/p>\n

Hochul\u2019s Republican rival, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, wants local governments \u2014 not Albany \u2014 deciding whether to strike deals with tech firms. He argues the moratorium sacrifices jobs and cedes American ground to Beijing in the AI race.<\/p>\n

For now, New York joins a handful of states flirting with similar bans \u2014 even as evidence mounts that the \u201cgrassroots\u201d revolt against America\u2019s AI buildout has some very well-funded and very foreign fingerprints on it.<\/p>\n
