## Resource

Trump’s expanded Ratepayer Protection Pledge is rallying nearly 200 Republican governors, tech giants, and utility firms to shift the cost of powering massive new data centers onto the companies themselves — not American households. Supporters argue this keeps electricity prices stable and fuels AI competitiveness, while critics, including environmental groups and some lawmakers, warn of past price hikes and push for stricter oversight or even a national moratorium on new data centers. The debate is heating up as the U.S. races to balance tech growth with energy affordability and environmental responsibility.
