## Resource

Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge is expanding fast, with nearly 200 new signatories—including governors, utilities, and AI data center builders—now on board, covering 80% of U.S. electricity use. This voluntary agreement, launched in March by tech giants like Google and Microsoft, aims to shield everyday families from rising bills by having big players foot the bill for AI’s massive energy demands. As AI power needs soar, the pledge seeks to manage growth without burdening consumers—but critics question if voluntary commitments are enough to prevent future rate hikes.
