一场竞争激烈的得克萨斯州州长选举可能塑造美国最大数据中心市场之一的未来,因为对人工智能建设热潮的反对已蔓延至全球。
A competitive Texas governor’s race could shape the future of one of the biggest US data center markets, as opposition to the AI buildout goes global.
共和党籍州长格雷格·阿博特已紧急修正其早前支持数据中心的政策,而其民主党对手承诺实施严格的暂停令,这可能影响全美2028年规划净容量新增的约29%。
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has scrambled to revise his earlier pro-data center policies, while his Democratic opponent has pledged a stringent moratorium, which could affect about 29% of the net capacity additions planned nationally for 2028.
虽然美国约有300多个州和地方层面的暂停令正威胁着建设热潮,但其他国家政府利用人工智能繁荣的雄心也面临阻碍:澳大利亚内陆一座大型数据中心的开发商在监管机构延长审查期后取消了施工时间表,而与新加坡有关联的印尼项目遭遇了当地环保人士的强烈反对。
While roughly 300-plus state and local moratoriums are threatening the US buildout, governments’ ambitions to harness the AI boom elsewhere are also facing hurdles: The developer of a massive data center in the Australian outback scrapped its construction timeline after the regulator extended its review period, and Singapore-linked projects in Indonesia have run into stiff opposition from environmentally concerned locals.
