## Resource

Morristown, Vermont, just slapped a two-year moratorium on new data centers — even though none have been proposed yet — to shield its residents and resources from the tech giants’ growing footprint. Joining Royalton and South Burlington, Morristown is part of a statewide backlash fueled by Governor Scott’s veto of a renewable-energy-focused regulation bill, sparking fears that towns must now defend themselves. Across America, public opposition surges as states like Texas pause approvals over energy, water, and environmental costs. With Big Tech eyeing Vermont’s former nuclear site and Democrats warning of becoming a “resource colony,” the debate rages: Is this pause a prudent safeguard… or an unnecessary delay?
