Governor · New Hampshire
Side-by-side comparison of candidate stances on AI hyperscale data center moratoriums, electricity rate hikes, water depletion, and Super PAC funding.
Candidate Position
Ayotte opposes siting large data centers in New Hampshire, citing high energy costs, water consumption, and environmental risks, and pledged a permitting moratorium in the state budget.
Sources & Verified Statements
“I've been clear that I oppose siting data centers in New Hampshire, including the proposed projects in Nottingham and Bow. Data centers would drive up our already too-high energy costs, and I share the concerns raised about their impact on our water and environment.”
“It does not make sense at all to site a data center in New Hampshire... We don't have the energy for it. I would support a moratorium on them because right now they do not make sense at all in terms of energy, environment or location.”
Candidate Position
Warmington has pledged to impose a day-one temporary permitting moratorium on data centers and implement a data center bill of rights protecting clean water, noise levels, and local labor.
Sources & Verified Statements
“I would impose a temporary permitting moratorium on day one, and establish a data center bill of rights protecting noise limits, local labor, and clean air and water.”
“I would like to see a temporary moratorium while we work on these issues... We need to make sure that we put in protections all around our state so that no neighboring community could put in a data center that impacts the quality of your water.”
