U.S. Senate Republicans are considering an expedited legislative process to advance a bill before the November elections. The bill aims to address the impact of power-hungry data centers and curb rising consumer energy costs. The House is expected to pass the bipartisan bill with broad support as early as Tuesday, directing states to consider mandating data centers to bear the costs of their massive electricity consumption and infrastructure upgrades, preventing these costs from being passed on to ordinary households and businesses. The Senate version of the bill was introduced by Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted.
