Opposition to new data centers is getting a lot of attention.

That includes Wednesday, when scores of anti-data center protesters filled the Missouri Capitol Rotunda, then took to the streets around the building for a march. One of the stops was next to the Governor's Mansion.

The protesters' big demand is a moratorium on data center development in Missouri until regulators can hammer out some rules for their construction and operation.

Would you support such a moratorium? Let us know by voting in the poll.
