Polymarket: 69% Chance Any State Enacts Data Center Moratorium by 2026
Polymarket · x · 2026-09-01
Polymarket data indicates a 69% probability that any U.S. state will enact a statewide moratorium on new data centers by December 31, 2026. This prediction is driven by rising concerns over electricity grid strain, water consumption for cooling, and utility rates caused by surging AI infrastructure demand. Notably, a New York executive order marked the first such statewide moratorium in July 2026. The market resolves based on official state legislative actions.
