[Newly Elected Governors in Several US States Plan to Halt Data Center Construction, Affecting Approximately 40% of Planned Capacity] The newly elected governors of Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, and Texas have pledged to halt or postpone data center construction statewide, while the newly elected governors of New York and Oregon have pledged to extend existing halts. Candidates supporting a halt to construction are currently leading in Alaska and Kansas. Cleanview data shows that approximately 40% of planned data center capacity in the US is scheduled to be built in these states. Furthermore, 46 local referendum measures have already passed or are expected to pass, with at least 17 of them directly prohibiting the construction of large data centers. (Source: Jinshi Data)
