Caitlin wasn't the only one campaigning against data centers.
Across the country, a weird coalition had formed, one that included both Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Sixteen days later, the Maine moratorium passed, with Democrats and Republicans supporting the bill.
For Caitlyn, this was an amazing outcome, and not just for her state.
Similar ideas have been proposed in a handful of other states, but none had passed a state legislature.
Maine was the first place anywhere to ban new data center construction.
Ten days later, Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, posted a letter to her office's website.
She said, quote, I'm hereby vetoing LD307.
Mills had killed the moratorium.
This is Melanie Sachs, the state representative who proposed the moratorium.
The reason for the governor's veto wasn't because she's an AI evangelist.
She isn't.
Or that she had a problem with such a sweeping measure.
In her letter, she wrote, quote, "...moratorium is appropriate."
She vetoed it because one town, Jay, the town next to Caitlin's farm, wanted and maybe needed this data center project.
In particular, she had received letters from the town's leaders urging her to veto the moratorium and save their data center.
One town of about 5,000 people had squashed the moratorium for the entire state of 1.4 million Mainers.
Opposition to data centers is the singular unifying issue in American politics in 2026.
70% of Americans oppose data center construction in their community.
