Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed an executive order requiring new data centers with peak demand above 25 megawatts to bring their own power that meets the state's clean-energy rules: preferably generated on-site, otherwise funded nearby or paid into a ratepayer protection fund. It's the latest sign of states turning against data centers after years of incentives, as public opposition grows; implementing regulations are still pending.
