## Resource

Trump’s new Ratepayer Protection Pledge rallies GOP leaders, utilities, and tech giants to make data centers foot their own energy bills — aiming to slash consumer costs as AI demand surges. Backed by a bipartisan House bill, the push seeks to fuel America’s tech edge without raising household rates. But critics say energy prices have risen under Trump and warn the pledge is PR theater — while some lawmakers now call for a national data center moratorium, echoing New York’s ban.
