I could see a reasonable statewide zoning law but a statewide ban? You’ve got to be kidding. Tech is one of California’s biggest industries. We’re just going to NIMBY the problem onto someone else?

    Yup. Also traditional: the blind hypocrisy of using a tech product that routes through a data center to call for a total ban on data centers.
