States don't have "rights", people do. I don't support any state's power to take away any human's rights. And bootlickers who do shouldn't have the chance to act out their fascistic fantasies

It's reasonable to believe that a blanket ban on data centers constitutes a regulatory taking, and therefore run afoul of people's property rights. A data center doesn't pose some unreasonable risk to the public interest to justify this degree of action.

Absolutely agreed. Which is why I'm firmly against Maine's proposal here

  • Maine is saying "hey give us until 2027 to research this and provide a good regulatory framework for massive data centers that don't impede on human rights to clean water and air". The moratorium expires after 2027.

    What human right is being violated here?

    Would you also say the requirement to get a driver's license is a violation of a human right?

    • "We need to put a """temporary""" moratorium to infringe on your right to $thing until we figure out what the hell is going on"

      No thanks
