Moratorium on non-operating green energy projects

Passed a moratorium on non-operating green energy projects. Not a data center-specific moratorium, but closely adjacent (targets the solar/wind/battery infrastructure often tied to data center development) — per the tracker, this preceded and inspired Hill County's data center moratorium and other counties' actions. Flagged here for reviewer judgment on whether it belongs in this tracker's scope.

Moratorium window: Feb 11, 2026 – TBD
