What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Petitioners in Colorado Springs are gathering signatures for a ballot question proposing a four-year moratorium on new data centers in the state. The proposed restriction would apply to new applications for data processing, data storage, or computer testing facilities that require more than 10 megawatts of power or more than 200,000 gallons of water per day. The city council had previously postponed a decision on a proposed data center until after the municipal elections in April 2027.
