Allow new data centers, but they have to bring all of the new electrical generation they will need to the grid in renewable form. And all water used for cooling has to be a closed-loop system. If AI is bringing this much value to the table then that will pencil out no problem. Of course, if AI is just a Ponzi scheme then they'll need to to externalize their costs as much as possible and cash out before the crash. In that case, a moratorium will do just fine in the interim.
