Polymarket odds: 27% chance a state enacts data center moratorium this year
Polymarket · x · 2026-11-08
Against the backdrop of Anthropic's massive power purchase, Polymarket runs a prediction market on whether any U.S. state enacts a data center moratorium: 27% (35¢) by end of 2026 and 90% by end of 2027. Rules count only state-level legislation that expressly pauses approvals, construction, or grid connection for new data centers — local ordinances or tax-incentive suspensions don't qualify, signaling regulatory backlash against data center expansion has become a tradable hedge.
