AI & Data Centers.

Adopt proper rules so data centers do not displace communities or drive up costs, while resisting a knee-jerk overcorrection on new technology.

  • Data Centers Pay Their Own Way
  • Protect Communities
  • No Knee-Jerk Overcorrection
Why It Matters

Lead on AI without making communities pay.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the economy, and America should lead it. But AI runs on massive data centers that consume enormous amounts of electricity, water, and land.

Communities are starting to feel the cost: rising utility bills, strained water supplies, and farmland and neighborhoods reshaped by projects they had little say in.

The answer is not to panic and over-regulate a technology we are only beginning to understand. It is smart rules that make sure growth pays its own way.

Our Positions

What we'll fight for.

01

Data Centers Pay Their Own Way

Families should not see higher utility bills because of a tech company's power needs.

How we'd do it
  • Require large data centers to pay for the grid upgrades and new power they need
  • Keep those costs off household utility bills
  • Encourage data centers to bring their own new power generation
02

Protect Communities

Local people deserve a real say in projects that reshape where they live.

How we'd do it
  • Give communities a meaningful voice in where data centers are built
  • Require disclosure and limits on water use in stressed areas
  • Prevent displacement of residents and farmland without a fair process
03

No Knee-Jerk Overcorrection

Fear-driven regulation would hand leadership in AI to our rivals.

How we'd do it
  • Resist sweeping restrictions on a technology still taking shape
  • Favor clear, targeted rules over broad bans
  • Keep America ahead of China in AI development
