## Resource

Louisiana’s governor and Entergy have joined a national movement to shield households from soaring utility bills driven by booming data centers, signing a voluntary “Ratepayer Protection Pledge” originally championed by President Trump. With over 200 companies already on board, this initiative aims to balance tech industry growth—with giants like Meta and Hut 8 expanding in the state—with fair energy costs for everyday families. While specifics are still being developed, the pledge signals a nationwide effort to ensure technological progress doesn’t come at the expense of household budgets.
