  • Update 2026-04-11 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): What counts as a datacenter ban:

    • Construction of all new datacenters banned (while existing ones remain operational) qualifies

    • Banning datacenters over 20MW in size/power consumption qualifies

    • Banning datacenters in certain areas does NOT qualify, unless the restricted area covers ~99% of the state

@ian not sure if this counts as it is a year long moratorium but news outlets are classifying it as a “ban”

@kmajc i guess no ban is really forever

What exactly counts as "datacenter ban"?
Which of the following would count for example:

Construction of all new datacenters banned while existing ones stay operational
Construction of new datacenters over certain size or power consumption banned

Construction of new datacenters in certain areas is banned

@ProjectVictory ahh good q. certainly construction of all new, while allowing old to function would qualify. i think banning datacenters over 20MW should count. banning them in certain areas doesn’t feel like it should count unless the area is like 99% of the state.
