Summary
A bold new plan from the former president aims to shield ratepayers from soaring electricity costs driven by massive AI data centers, demanding tech giants like Meta pay for their own power and grid upgrades. Louisiana’s governor and Entergy CEO joined the White House announcement, pledging long-term customer benefits. But critics warn a voluntary pledge lacks legal teeth, and with Entergy pushing $17 billion in new gas plants and infrastructure, state regulators may be sidelined. Concerns mount over hidden risks and unclear future usage of data centers, as the debate rages over who truly bears the cost of powering the AI revolution.
