Data Center Turmoil: Oracle, Fines, and Orbital Plans

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

Oracle's force majeure claim conveniently shields it from schedule penalties, while New Jersey's drone-based fine shows regulators are now using aerial surveillance to police backup power emissions.

💡 Why it matters

These actions signal tighter regulatory scrutiny on data center construction and power infrastructure, potentially delaying projects and raising compliance costs across the industry.

Oracle sent a force majeure notice to delay payments on its New Mexico Stargate data center if it misses its 2028 online target, while New Jersey fined a data center $1.1 million after drone photos exposed 62 unpermitted gas generators.
