Ohio Grassroots Group Gains Traction for Data Center Amendment: A local advocacy group in Ohio has secured approval to gather signatures for a constitutional amendment, aiming to limit new data centers that consume more than twenty-five megawatts. The Ohio Ballot Board unanimously certified the proposal, allowing Ohio Residents for Responsible Development to push for the November ballot. The group, comprising volunteers across forty-six counties, must collect over four hundred thirteen thousand signatures by July first to make the ballot. The amendment comes as a response to concerns about data centers power consumption, which is expected to reach nine percent of U.S. electricity by 2030, and their impact on farmland and electricity costs. The Ohio House has also passed a bill for a data center study commission, and other states are considering temporary bans.
