YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Measures seeking to block or rein in data center construction are gaining momentum at the state and local level, as Americans increasingly sour on the massive buildout of AI infrastructure in their communities.

The Maine Legislature became the first in the nation to pass a bill banning the development of large-scale data centers last week, while a Wisconsin city approved a referendum earlier this month to give voters greater say over major tax-funded projects in response to the construction of a nearby data center campus.
