Voters in at least 29 jurisdictions across the country passed bans or restrictions on data centers Tuesday, reflecting the widespread public revulsion to the facilities and adding to the growing pushback on the ambitions of the AI industry. wapo.st/4BNa1a4

Local bans on data centers and the victory of gubernatorial and Senate candidates promising to regulate the projects could create headaches for the AI industry.

School solar in action! I loved visiting Manheim School District recently to attend the ribbon-cutting on their brand new solar array! This installation brought jobs to the area, generates clean energy, and will help the district cover their rising costs without raising taxes.

And PennFuture agrees- regulation is needed! House Bill (HB) 2496, allows municipalities the option to put a 6-month pause on all data center applications while they develop the proper ordinances and protections for their community. Take action here: secure.everyaction.com/nBo5D…
