Community Votes to Deny Water to Nuclear Weapons Data Center

A New Mexico township voted to put a 365-day hold on water service to a planned NNSA AI data center for nuclear-weapons modeling — set to break ground next week. Lead with the local-veto mechanism: data-center sprawl is hitting municipal water rationing limits, and even a federal nuclear program isn't exempt. Accountability win: small-town voters block a Department of Energy facility through utility governance, not federal politics.
