超党派の上院議員、データセンターのエネルギー報告義務化を要求
Warren上院議員とHawley上院議員は、エネルギー情報局(Energy Information Administration)に対し、データセンターの年間エネルギー使用量の開示を義務付けるよう求めました。
Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) urging the agency to collect comprehensive, annual data on data center energy consumption. The senators specifically called for mandatory reporting to support grid planning, contrasting the EIA's recent announcement of a voluntary pilot program limited to Texas, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC. This political pressure follows a Pew Research Center survey indicating 43% of Americans blame data centers for rising utility bills.
