Polymarket lists a 29% chance that any US state enacts a data center moratorium by the end of the year. The market follows Sam Altman's backlash-inducing comments suggesting the world's limited RAM supply would be better used in AI data centers than personal computers, after which he walked it back saying he wants people to have "so much RAM." Data center expansion is increasingly becoming a policy battleground over power, land, and local communities.
