Where local governments have paused data centers
22 counties have a data center pause we can point at an ordinance or a government source for. 217 more are reported by a tracker with only a news link, and those are listed separately because a news link is not an ordinance.

Every row here originates in the AI GridWatch tracker (aigridwatch.com, CC BY 4.0). We keep only the ones whose own source is an ordinance or a government page, and we show the rest on their county page labelled as reported. That is a much smaller number than the headline counts you may have seen, and it is the number we can stand behind.
