Maine steht kurz vor der Verabschiedung eines Moratoriums für neue Rechenzentren – Der Gesetzesvorschlag wäre der erste seiner Art im Land, aber dieses Jahr tauchen überall ähnliche Gesetzesentwürfe auf.

I got banned from smallstreetbets for mentioning this, lol .
These data centers generate more pollution, so we must prevent them from continuing to be built.
I thought the federal government outlawed state level legislation of AI? how is this legal?
Now if we can just ask China nicely to not try and get ahead of us in Ai then we should be golden.
More corrupt states are completely playing ball. Like even building more power plants just for the datacenters, while ignoring local objections to their being built.
But Senator Collins said they’ve learned their lesson!
I’m sure, if asked, SCOTUS would happily find a way to shoot this down. Something originalist regarding founding fathers and 18th century data centers.
This would improve lives in my red state so I know they won’t pass it
Is Connecticut one of the states trying to ban this?
Why not just regulate them to have their own electricity generation and higher standards like all the other things we allow but regulate
How does this benefit the business? It doesn’t? Won’t pass. Simple as that.
There are very few areas in Maine that can handle these site. I am 20 minutes away from a small family home costing $750k. I do not have sewer, public water or natural gas. I do live on property that Poland springs wants to pump from for clean water. If a data center were to move in we would have thousands of low income homes unable to pay for a deep well drilling when the water table goes dry.
