Georgia leads first statewide push to halt AI data centers over energy and water concerns

Georgia lawmakers introduced HB-1012, proposing the nation's first statewide data center moratorium until March 2027. The bill seeks to pause new data center construction while officials assess energy and water consumption, rising utility costs, and economic impacts. With 100-200 facilities already consuming power for 3.9 million homes, the state has become ground zero in the fight against unchecked AI infrastructure growth.
