Polymarket puts 28% odds on a US state enacting a data center moratorium this year
Polymarket · x · 2026-10-20
Polymarket launched a market on whether any U.S. state enacts a data center moratorium: 28% by end of 2026, 74% by end of 2027. Rules require state-level legislation blocking approval, permitting, construction, or grid connection of new data centers; tax incentive changes don't count. The post also cites FT reporting that AI data centers may soon need blast-resistant concrete, anti-drone defenses, and missile protection as attacks on computing infrastructure escalate worldwide.
