A $5B AI data center, blocked by 25,000 signatures

A Maryland activist is credited with helping block a $5 billion AI data center after gathering 25,000 signatures, according to a Polymarket post. The material gives no detail on the site, the developer or the formal process, so treat it as a claim. It still hints at something bigger. While AI companies race to build compute, the obstacle may turn out to be a local petition rather than a shortage of chips or power.
