One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Missouri enact a data center moratorium by December 31, 2027? — the market puts it at 18%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Missouri passes a statewide law that legally suspends the approval or construction of new data centers before December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if no such binding state law is enacted by that deadline, including cases where only local governments act or tax incentives are suspended.
