초당파 상원의원들, 데이터 센터 에너지 보고 의무화 요구
Warren과 Hawley 상원의원은 에너지 정보청(energy information administration)에 데이터 센터의 연간 에너지 사용량 공개를 의무화할 것을 촉구했습니다.
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.
