Tuesday's election results will have sweeping effects on America's data center boom. Our team at Cleanup analyzed the data and found that newly elected governors could stop 41% of America's planned data centers. Here are some more excerpts from tonight's results: On Tuesday, voters elected governors and passed local measures that will change the course of the artificial intelligence infrastructure boom. But most of the early coverage was misleading or incorrect. Tuesday's results do not signal the end of the data center boom. However, they could bring a shutdown in some of the biggest markets and new regulations across the country — even in laissez-faire states like Texas. 159 planned data centers are in states where the new governor is repeating the shutdown. 41% of the country's planned data center pipeline. 69.2 GW (18%) is in countries where the winner wants to change tax breaks or other rules, but did not support the break. This week's election will also affect the power projects that data centers depend on, likely bringing more clean energy to some states and less to local gas plants. On-site gas plants are expected to face new rules and delays. To build a gas plant on site, a developer needs an air permit. This approval often goes through the offices controlled by the executive branch, meaning new Democratic governors can delay or block these approvals. Developers may purchase cleaner energy. Several candidates campaigned on the promise that data centers buy cleaner energy. David Crowley in Wisconsin called for 100% renewable energy as a condition for communities getting a project. Holland's plan calls for self-renewal. Michigan Democrats have proposed a bill requiring 90% clean procurement. Another excerpt from last night: the local elections were made against data centers. Data centers were directly in 41 local elections across the country.
