A Data Center Bill Dies in the Senate, and the Voter Worry Doesn't

A Senate bill meant to answer voter concerns about data centers and their effect on energy costs failed to advance on Wednesday. PBS reports that it fell victim to an election-year clash over how best to handle a concern that has been growing rather than fading. The disagreement is about method, not about whether the issue exists — and the bill's failure leaves the underlying question of data-center power demand and electricity bills exactly where it was.
