## Resource

A new proposal from lawmakers could pause AI data center development across the U.S.—and it may have bigger implications for real estate than you think. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors , Kathy Fettke breaks down the push for a nationwide moratorium on AI data centers and why it's sparking concern across both political parties. These facilities are driving demand for land, power, and infrastructure. But they also consume massive amounts of electricity—raising concerns about higher utility costs, environmental impact, and strain on local grids. Kathy explains how rising energy demand could impact operating costs, rental affordability, and long-term property values. She also looks at which markets could benefit from data center growth—and which ones may face new restrictions. This is a fast-moving story at the intersection of technology, policy, and real estate. And it's one investors can't afford to ignore. Source: https://apnews.com/article/data-centers-ai-electricity-sanders-aoc-65651bd28c3d911d18eeb46cd54f4c75
