What this means for TeraWulf in Lansing

The moratorium would not apply to “the modification, renewal, re-issuance, or recertification of any previously issued permit, certificate, registration, license, or other form of approval; or large data centers commencing construction on or before the effective date of this section”

Since TeraWulf has not submitted any formal plans for their data center and has not received any permits, these bills could halt them for one year!
