San Diego City Council and Mayor enact temporary moratorium on new data centers
The San Diego City Council has passed a temporary moratorium on new data centers, an action mirrored by an executive order from Mayor Todd Gloria. These measures specifically target a proposed 400-megawatt AI data center planned for the NAVWAR site. The moratorium is set to last for 120 days, allowing the city to study the environmental and energy impacts of such facilities. Public outcry preceded these decisions, with residents, including some dressed as fictional characters like "Lord Farquaad" and "Elmo," voicing concerns at a City Council meeting. The proposed data center is projected to consume power equivalent to that used by 300,000 homes, a figure that fueled public debate.
