In this episode I attended a council hearing in Maryland’s Prince George’s County, to hear the arguments on a major decision reshaping the conversation around data center development across the country. On October 27, 2026, the Prince George’s County Council voted 10–1 to approve  legislation designed to strengthen oversight of data center projects. The measure eliminates exemptions that allowed certain data centers to bypass detailed site-plan reviews, requires neighborhood meetings, and provides additional opportunities for public hearings and community input. Although this is not a permanent ban on data centers, it marks an important shift toward greater transparency, accountability, and public participation in decisions affecting local communities across the county.
