Polymarket launched a market pricing whether any US state enacts a statewide data center moratorium by Dec 31, 2026, currently at 31%. A qualifying law must pause approval, permitting, construction, grid connection, or operation of new data centers. It follows Polymarket's report that data centers now supply 45% of local tax revenue in Loudoun County, Virginia, highlighting the tension between community pushback and fiscal dependence.
