Polymarket · x · 2026-08-24
A Polymarket prediction market gives a 68% chance that any U.S. state will enact a moratorium on new data centers by December 31, 2026. This sentiment is driven by growing concerns over the surging electricity and water demands of AI-scale data centers. Notably, Bernie Sanders has recently demanded a nationwide moratorium on AI data centers.
