Midterm Voters Reject Data Centers
The Washington Sun reports that in the 2026 midterms, Democrats who campaigned on pausing data center development won gubernatorial races in Texas, Georgia and Ohio, and that at least 38 towns and cities passed local ballot measures restricting data centers. Elon Musk posted on X that "Data centers in space looking pretty appealing right now," and an analysis from Cleanview Energy shows 41% of US data centers could be paused after the results.
