Sign our Petition to Stop Data Centers on the Niagara River

Prevent data centers from being built on the Niagara River:

The Niagara River, with its stunning waterfalls and vital ecological role, is an irreplaceable natural resource. It is not just a local treasure but an international symbol of natural beauty and environmental significance. However, this invaluable river is currently facing a significant threat: the construction of data centers along its banks.

Data centers, while important for supporting modern technologies, consume vast amounts of water and electricity, which could severely impact the delicate ecosystem of the Niagara River. The cooling processes required for these facilities can result in drastic changes to local water levels and temperatures, potentially disrupting aquatic life and compromising the biodiversity that depends on this unique habitat.

Moreover, the increased industrial activity in the area can lead to pollution through runoff and increased waste, which could degrade the water quality of the river. Not only is this a threat to the local wildlife, but it also poses risks to the communities that rely on the river for drinking water, recreation, and tourism.

Western New York has already paid the price for putting short-term profits ahead of environmental responsibility. From the toxic legacy of Love Canal to decades of pollution from chemical manufacturing along the Niagara River corridor and in communities like Tonawanda, our region is still dealing with the consequences of decisions that prioritized industry over public health and environmental protection. We cannot afford to repeat those mistakes. The Niagara River is too important to risk for projects that may leave future generations with the costs while others take the profits.

This petition calls on local, state, and federal leaders to oppose the construction of data centers along the Niagara River and to protect this natural wonder for future generations.

If elected, Nate McMurray has pledged to continue fighting against inappropriate data center development along the Niagara River. Nate believes the Niagara River should be protected from environmentally harmful development that threatens our communities and ecosystem. By signing this petition, you're helping send a message that Western New York wants responsible growth that puts our environment first. Learn more at: www.votenatemcmurray.com
