House GOP leaders face pressure to address data center growth across the United States. During planning sessions for new sites, tech companies and local officials frequently use non-disclosure agreements.
Local residents, local citizens, and power operators are taking steps related to the growing field. In Wisconsin, Kenosha area residents demand a moratorium to halt a proposed Microsoft development. Grid operator PJM suggested forcing data centers to generate their own power. In addition, rising doubts over data centers also affected local elections in southeastern Wyoming.
