SV proposes a halt on new data centres and asks for follow-up of the crypto-mining ban (proposal)

Original title (Norwegian): Representantforslag om konsesjonssystem for etablering av datasentre

Socialist Left Party (SV) MPs have proposed in the Storting a «panic law» that would put new data centres on hold until the industry is regulated, plus a national licensing system for data centres. They also ask the government to report back quickly on how the Storting's decision to ban crypto mining in Norway will be followed up; this is a proposal, not a decision.
