Was Maine ever at risk of being overrun with data centers? Regardless, if the ban is what Maine voters want then more power to them.

> The bill also creates the Maine Data Center Coordination Council, and instructs the council to provide strategic input, facilitate planning considerations and evaluate policy tools to address data center opportunities.
