原文內容：

After a big win in the U.S. midterm elections on Tuesday, some Democrats are
already signaling they want to take on the artificial build-out, specifically
data centers.

In a post on X, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., touted referendums across the
U.S. on Tuesday where voters in localities approved restrictions on data
centers. Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats, said the message to
political leaders is clear.

“National data center moratorium now,” he wrote in the post. “Americans don
’t want Big Tech oligarchs wrecking the environment, gutting jobs and
threatening humanity’s future.”

In another post on X, Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., wrote that pausing AI
development needs to be a top priority for the large Democratic majority in
the House on Day 1. Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, the chair of the Congressional
Progressive Caucus, amplified the post and said, “Yes!”

According to the CNBC Voter Poll, 56% of voters said AI and data centers were
a crucial or major factor in their decision at the ballot box. Of those
voters, 65% said they cast a ballot for a Democratic candidate for Congress.

Stocks linked to the artificial intelligence build-out declined slightly on
Wednesday in the wake of the election, but the selling intensified on
Thursday as investors worried Democratic wins could have a real impact on
data center construction. Chip stocks led the decline. The iShares
Semiconductor ETF
 (SOXX) tumbled nearly 9% on Tuesday. Nvidia declined 8%, while Advanced
Micro Devices sunk more than 14%.

Democrats who flipped critical races on Tuesday also singled out big tech
companies and data centers.

South Carolina Democrat Annie Andrews, who flipped a Senate seat in the state
on Tuesday, launched a website during the campaign that branded her opponent
— Sen. Darline Graham — “data center Darline.”

In her victory speech on Tuesday, Andrews said voters chose a South Carolina
“where decisions about communities are made by the people who live in our
communities, not the billionaires or data center companies in Washington D.C.
”

Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown, who is heading back to the Senate after
defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Jon Husted on Tuesday, said in his
victory speech, “I do not work for data centers.”

Democratic governors also attacked data centers in their victory speeches.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who signed an executive order in August to
slow data center development, said big tech companies shouldn’t determine
residents’ futures. “Instead, the folks in our local communities get the
final say,” he said.

Perhaps most important to the data center build-out is Texas, which is home
to 27% of planned data center capacity, according to Wells Fargo.

Gina Hinojosa, the Democrat who ousted incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott,
didn’t address data centers directly in her victory speech, though they
played a key role in her campaign.

“When I am governor, I will issue a moratorium, a ban, on all data center
approvals until laws can be passed by the legislature to protect Texans,”
she said in a video posted to her X in late October. “This is about one
fight. Is this going to be a Texas that is by and for the people, or is this
the billionaire’s world and we just live here? Data centers are part of that
fight.”

民主黨期中選舉橫掃後，黨內要角呼籲限制 AI 基礎建設：立即暫停全國資料中心興建


民主黨在週二的美國期中選舉大勝後，部分民主黨人已開始表態，將把矛頭指向人工智慧
（AI）基礎建設的擴張，尤其是資料中心。



桑德斯在貼文中呼籲，立即暫停全國資料中心興建。他接著寫道：

"美國人不希望大型科技企業的寡頭破壞環境、摧毀工作機會，並威脅人類的未來。"



"對！"

根據 CNBC 選民民調，56% 的選民表示，AI 與資料中心是影響其投票決定的關鍵或重要
因素；在這些選民中，有 65% 將選票投給民主黨國會候選人。



週二在關鍵選戰中成功翻轉共和黨席次的民主黨人，也將大型科技公司與資料中心列為批
評對象。



在週二的勝選演說中，安德魯斯表示，選民選擇的南卡羅來納州是

"社區的決策由住在這裡的人決定，而不是由華盛頓特區與那些億萬富豪資料中心公司
說了算"


俄亥俄州民主黨人謝羅德· 布朗（Sherrod Brown）擊敗現任共和黨參議員喬恩· 赫斯特
德（Jon Husted），重返參議院。他在勝選演說中直接表示：

"我不是替資料中心做事的。"


民主黨籍州長也在勝選演說中批評資料中心。賓夕法尼亞州州長喬許· 夏皮洛（Josh
Shapiro）今年 8 月曾簽署行政命令，放緩資料中心的開發速度。他表示，大型科技公司
不該決定居民的未來。

"最終決定權，就該交給我們當地社區的居民。"


對資料中心建設而言，最關鍵的州可能是德州。根據富國銀行（Wells Fargo）的數據，
德州占全美規劃中資料中心總容量的 27%。



"當我成為州長時，我將發布暫停令，也就是禁令，禁止所有資料中心的核准，直到州議會
能夠通過法律來保護德州人"


她於 10 月下旬在 X 發布的影片中表示
"這都指向同一場戰鬥。這會是一個由人民、為人民的德州，還是億萬富翁的世界，而我們
只是住在這裡？資料中心就是這場戰鬥的一部分。"



心得/評論：



全面取消 AI 機會不大，但是被延後或卡關 (跟台北大巨蛋一樣?) 機會是存在的
