From the transcript

For those who weren't listening a couple of weeks back, what this would do would be present— prevent a large multi-acre data center that is off the grid, because obviously a large multi-acre data center would never be supported supported by the grid. Many states down south are having those in their communities and don't want them. They're purely diesel generated or other sources. I don't think that reflects the, uh, the views of the community or reflects the way we want our community to be.
