Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order stopping the fast-tracking of datacenters in the state. The order adds requirements such as bringing their own power, accepting shutoffs during grid strain, and meeting renewable energy standards. Despite Shapiro's previous pro-datacenter stance, the move reflects a significant pivot due to local unpopularity and political pressure.
