stopped before they were even built, yes.
>In Ohio alone, at least 14 municipalities passed bans or restrictions on datacenter development, including in Sunbury, where Amazon has proposed a $2bn datacenter project. In Maine, eight municipalities passed temporary datacenter moratoriums. In Emporia, Kansas, where a 1,000-acre gigawatt-scale datacenter was recently proposed, a ban on high-impact datacenters was approved by voters.
and now they will be built elsewhere.
I think there's a rather obvious precedent for that inevitable outcome.

Regarding 4, I don't think anyone in the US wants a bunch of SOTA GPUs being in any other country than the US. It's either they are all here in the US, or they are not anywhere.
2) the wholesome party is not in power yet
3) even when they are, the orange man will veto everything they might attempt to do
4) even when the orange man is replaced with someone wholesome, and that wholesome person enacts a bunch of wholesome legislations, data centers will simply move literally anywhere else on Earth.
