Senate kills data center cost-shifting bill; Polymarket puts state moratorium odds at 26%
Polymarket · x · 2026-10-01
- The US Senate rejected a bill aimed at preventing AI data centers from passing energy-infrastructure costs onto American households.
- Polymarket has since listed a market: a 26% chance that any US state enacts a data center moratorium by end of 2026.
- Market rules: only state-level legislation that halts data center approval, construction, grid connection, or operation counts — tax-incentive suspensions or local-government limits don't qualify.
