Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Talks Governors Race, Data Center Pause

 

Democratic nominee for Georgia governor Keisha Lance Bottoms says she is calling for a pause on new data center construction in the state while officials assess the industry’s impact. Speaking to Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz on Bloomberg Balance of Power, Bottoms says the pause could last six months or longer, citing questions about strain on the electric grid, costs to ratepayers and impacts on the water supply.
