JUST IN: Maine is about to become the first US state to ban new data centers.
And 10 other states are right behind it.
Maine wants to freeze massive construction projects until late 2027.
The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House (with Republican support). The Senate is expected to follow. Gov. Janet Mills backs it.
And right now, at least 10 states are advancing similar bans.
