Polymarket · x · 2026-09-03
A new Polymarket market puts 72% odds that any US state enacts a statewide data center moratorium by December 31, 2026. Qualifying legislation must pause or prohibit approvals, permitting, construction, or grid connection of new data centers, with resolution based on official legislative trackers and governor announcements. The market follows Treasury Sec. Bessent's criticism that hyperscalers do a "terrible job" explaining data centers and AI to the public.
