I am writing as your constituent to demand immediate federal action on a crisis threatening our communities, our electrical grid, and our national security: the unchecked explosion of massive data centers built to fuel the artificial intelligence boom. WE ARE GOING BANKRUPT TRYING TO PAY UTILITIES & PROPERTY TAX. WE JUST DON’T HAVE IT BECAUSE OUR PAYCHECKS ARE NOT GOING UP. Seven in 10 Americans oppose data centers in their communities. Local opposition has already blocked or delayed more than a dozen projects worth $64 billion. We need and expect our Congressional Representatives and Senators act. 1. Institute a moratorium on new data centers until we have comprehensive federal standards protecting communities, water resources, and the electrical grid. 2. Establish community control over whether these facilities can be built so the people who live near these projects, not corporate lobbyists and politicians, have the final say. 3. Invest in renewable American energy infrastructure. Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, and protect our environment and communities. 4. Stop the subsidies for Big Tech. These corporations are making record profits while while working families lose their power and communities lose their water. I request a written response within 30 days detailing your position on this issue and what specific legislation you plan to support or introduce to address this crisis. Our communities, our grid, and our national security cannot wait.
