  1. #Maine lawmakers consider moratorium on new #Datacenters

    Maine Public | By Peter McGuire
    Published February 16, 2026

    Excerpt: " 'These data centers as we have seen in other states have impacts for grid resilience, they have impacts for environmental resources, so we just wanted to take a proactive approach and do it unlike any other state has so far,' Sachs said in an interview.

    "Data centers house computing networks that process information for applications including artificial intelligence. New centers have been growing across the U.S. and raising concerns about their huge appetite for #electricity and #water.

    "Sachs said the proposed council would spend the next year studying the potential impact on electric ratepayers, the environment, power grid and other matters and offer guidelines for building new centers in the future.

    "In the meantime, Sachs is proposing a moratorium through mid-2028 on new centers that use more than 20 megawatts of power.

    "The plan was opposed by some Republican members of the Legislature's Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee."

    i don't trust ๐˜ผ๐™ฃ๐™ฎ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ from Rick Voldemort Scott, one of the biggest Medicare fraudsters of all time

    That man should not be walking free, much less serving in the Senate.

    & the f'ing irony of him sponsoring healthcare legislation. There is no way there are not grifts for his buddies written into it #RickScott #Repugnicans #Cancervative

    ...in a surprise to absolutely no one๐Ÿ˜’

    As long as addressing climate change will negatively impact the profits & wealth of any of the #oligarchs (petro-oligarchs & the others), they will continue to lie & undermine all efforts, and convince the terminally stupid (mostly the #cancervatives & #evangelicals ) that it is a hoax

    imagine the progress we could make on climate change if they didn't exist
