The signing congressmembers made clear that they would oppose projects failing to meet these standards.

The local community must have a say in whether or not they want a data center in their area—and their voices must be listened to. The centers must bring and provide their own power, without raising costs or depleting a community’s energy supply. The centers must not pollute a community’s air or water or deplete a community's water supply. ### | 1 | 2026-09-19T09:11:33Z | 2026-09-19T09:12:45Z |
