In case y'all aren't aware, new data center projects are being struck down or paused all over the US & Canada now, because stories like this are breaking through the national consciousness. As soon as anyone gets wind that their community is targeted next, people rise up. Amazingly this is not a left/right issue—folks across the political spectrum *hate* this bullshit!

@jaredwhite The county next door to me in rural Kentucky has a big "no data center" movement against a possible data center project. At least they won a one-year moratorium: https://www.kfyrtv.com/2026/03/04/mercer-county-issues-moratorium-data-centers/
Mercer County issues moratorium on data centers

On Tuesday, commissioners voted 3-to-2 in favor of the pause of any applications, giving county staff more time to research and develop ordinances.

@fpsvogel Oh that's great! Yeah, when rural Kentucky and Madison, WI (they also passed a one-year moratorium) are in political alignment, something is in the air! 😲
