Then they could pass a law requiring the data centers to pay for these instead of banning them outright, should sort itself out no?
- kube-system 4mo agoPart of the idea behind a moratorium is to allow time for impact analysis so those regulations can be written appropriately. Part of the reason we have big tech getting away with regulatory capture in the US is because they have enough capital to entrench themselves in the economy faster than regulators can react.
