US Data Centre Boom Faces Growing Political Opposition After Midterm Elections.
Newly elected governors in Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico and Texas have pledged to pause or halt data centre construction.
Around 40% of planned US data centre capacity is located in states considering regulatory restrictions, according to Cleanview.
Meanwhile, 46 local ballot measures restricting data centre development have passed or are expected to pass, with at least 17 seeking outright bans on large projects.
Growing opposition could threaten the expansion of US AI infrastructure and put pressure on the broader technology supply chain.
