Shapiro wants to use incentives to push data centers to behave better. His own party wants to be more aggressive.

In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro is trying to lure data center projects to the state while addressing concerns about their environmental impact, opting for incentives over stricter regulations. However, there's a divide within his own Democratic party, with some lawmakers pushing for more aggressive regulatory measures. This split was highlighted by the Democratic-controlled state House passing two conflicting bills on the issue. The tension underscores the broader challenge of balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility.
