> I don't support any state's power to take away any human's rights. Absolutely agreed. Which is why I'm firmly against Maine's proposal here

  Maine is saying "hey give us until 2027 to research this and provide a good regulatory framework for massive data centers that don't impede on human rights to clean water and air". The moratorium expires after 2027. What human right is being violated here? Would you also say the requirement to get a driver's license is a violation of a human right?

    "We need to put a """temporary""" moratorium to infringe on your right to $thing until we figure out what the hell is going on" No thanks

      Some people are addicted to the taste of boots. In most of the US, small cities are being bullied around by huge tech firms that have taken over their political infrastructure and bought out their politicians. The people of Maine are sticking up to bid-rigging, bribery, and political collusion. More power to them They're not even the first. Kentucky is facing fallout from uncovered collusion between local officials and developers (Western Hospitality Partners) to advance a data center project and they've also had to place a moratorium.
