The election also elevates a number of candidates who made stricter regulation of data centers a key part of their campaigns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rapid development of data centers around the U.S. to help power artificial intelligence has provoked widespread public backlash. By a margin of more than 2-to-1, more Americans oppose than favor building a new data center in their area, a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/americans-data-centers-in-their-area-opinion-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News poll <\/a><\/span>found this summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Focus on Texas<\/h2>\n<p>Franklin Templeton chief market strategist Stephen Dover predicted that the election results will lead to a &#8220;slowdown in data centers being built,&#8221; bringing new regulations and costs for their developers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For tech investors, the big focus is will these midterm elections slow the pace of the planned 800 to 1,000 data centers across the U.S. fueling the AI Revolution,&#8221; Yorkville Ives &amp; Co. technology analyst Dan Ives said in a report. &#8220;The answer in our view is a clear YES.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ives pointed to Texas, which accounts for 25% to 30% of the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ai-data-centers-changing-us-farmland-backlash\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">data center capacity<\/a><\/span> expected to come online by 2030, as one state that could be affected.

All the new governor has to do is keep it in place. She doesn&#8217;t need a new law to keep data center permits frozen,&#8221; Johnson told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keisha Lance Bottoms&#8217; <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/atlanta\/news\/georgia-governor-election-2026-results-rick-jackson-keisha-lance-bottoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">gubernatorial victory in Georgia<\/a><\/span>, the third-largest data center market, also has significant implications for the infrastructure buildout.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bottoms, who campaigned on pausing new data center construction in the state, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/keisha-lance-bottoms-georgia-governor\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told CBS Mornings<\/a><\/span> on Wednesday that she would immediately &#8220;sign an executive order for that pause, and then we will determine what else we need to do administratively to take that pause into effect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bottoms also said she plans to review tax incentives offered in Georgia that have spurred data center development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, of course, we are going to have to take a look at what those agreements entail and determine what our remedies are to enact that pause, but I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to get a lot of pushback across the state,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Many local governments have already taken that first step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Cooling an overheated sector<\/h2>\n<p>Massive investment in data centers and the artificial intelligence sector more broadly has helped propel U.S. economic growth and drive stock market gains. In the long term, however, a slower data center buildout is unlikely to hamstring the economy, Dover of Franklin Templeton told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s possible to argue that the AI trade and data center buildout was getting overheated, and this could dampen some of the excessive investment that might not have a good return on capital, which investors have questioned anyway,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So unbridled expansion will be tempered a bit, but probably not a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although data center moratoriums may delay construction, they won&#8217;t torpedo capital spending on AI or switch off the boost those expenditures have provided to growth, according to economists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A more restrictive stance toward data centers would stretch the timelines of future projects, and slower construction in the medium to long term wouldn&#8217;t necessarily be a bad outcome for the macroeconomy,&#8221; analysts with Oxford Economics said in a report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a
