Conflicts and open questions
- Decennial's separate 180 MW Hammond project, mentioned by Data Center Dynamics, is not part of this proposal.
- ABC57's March story says the moratorium passed 2-1 without naming the voting body clearly; WNDU attributes the vote to the commissioners, which is what is used here.
