明尼苏达人要求停止对新的数据中心的需求,因为新的数据中心是建立在环境和透明度方面的关切之上的。 Minnesotans demand halt to new data center builds over environmental and transparency concerns.

2026年2月18日, 明尼苏达州居民和环境倡导者聚集在州议会, 要求暂停新建超大型数据中心, 理由是环境损害、缺乏透明度和企业影响。 On February 18, 2026, Minnesota residents and environmental advocates rallied at the state Capitol demanding a moratorium on new hyper-scale data center construction, citing environmental harm, lack of transparency, and corporate influence. 他们批评开发商使用不披露协议、绕过公众投入、低估水和能源需求, 并批评Meta Rosemount网站等项目不顾当地反对及法律挑战, They criticized developers for using non-disclosure agreements, bypassing public input, and underestimating water and energy needs, with projects like Meta’s Rosemount site proceeding despite local opposition and legal challenges. 由于数据中心预计到2028年将耗用6.7%至12%的美国电力,因此立法者计划制定立法,以停止新的建设,直至建立管制框架,结束免税,并禁止非专利产品。 Lawmakers plan to introduce legislation to halt new builds until a regulatory framework is established, end tax exemptions, and ban NDAs, as data centers are projected to consume 6.7 to 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028.
