📰💡 Oh, look! Yet another #newsletter that thinks it's cool to combine #microwaves and #megawatts for a history lesson nobody asked for. 📚🚫 Spoiler: Instead of making the Columbia River interesting, it made me wish for a power outage. 💥🙄

Speaking of #CorporateSuckups... Way to NOT get my vote, #JanetMills! 🖕🏼

Janet Mills vetoes #Maine #DataCenter ban

by Ethan Andrews, April 24, 2026

"Gov. Janet Mills on Friday vetoed a bill that would have created a temporary statewide ban on large #DataCenters.

"The bill passed by the Maine Legislature earlier this month would enact an 18-month moratorium on new data centers that use more than 20 #megawatts of power.

"It would have made Maine the first state in the country to enact such a ban on the controversial facilities, which support #CloudComputing and artificial intelligence at the cost of large amounts of electricity and #water."
