SemiAnalysis reports bipartisan datacenter backlash in the US puts 2028 buildouts at serious risk of being paused. Its 'moratorium sweep' scenario maps 30.3GW of planned capacity at risk: Texas 16.7GW, Ohio 4.8GW, Georgia 3.2GW, and Oregon 0.9GW could pause outright, with Arizona, Wyoming, and Illinois adding conditions. That could cap future rate-limit increases for AI services.
