俄亥俄州拟议数据中心限建令收集签名
Read, Watch or Listen
Columbus, Ohio — Petitioners are collecting signatures for a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit construction of data centers with peak loads above 25 megawatts, seeking more than 413,000 valid signatures from at least 44 counties by July 1 after receiving authorization from the Ohio Ballot Board about a month earlier and relying on volunteers to gather signatures. Charlotte, North Carolina held a staff presentation on May 11 and scheduled a public hearing for May 26 ahead of a possible June 8 vote on a data center moratorium after a proposed Hood Road project drew attention; in California and Tennessee, regulators and planning commissions are assessing filings, resource estimates and zoning recommendations as communities weigh water and power impacts.

数据中心开发商和投资者可以通过建造合同、持续的设施收入以及潜在的地方税收或费用收入获益；如果设施得以建设，一些市政当局可能会获得经济发展的好处。
如果建造大型数据中心而不采取缓解措施，当地居民、市政公用事业和依赖地下水的社区可能会面临供水紧张、基础设施需求增加和当地环境压力加大的困境。
