Polymarket · x · 2026-09-02
A Polymarket prediction market gives a 69% chance that any US state will enact a statewide moratorium on new data centers by year-end. Such moratoriums include prohibiting or suspending the approval, permitting, construction, or grid connection of new data centers. The prediction cites New York's executive order pausing environmental permits for hyperscale data centers (50MW+) as a boost to trader confidence. Rapid AI-driven demand is intensifying scrutiny on data centers.
