Trump Says Deal On Data Centers Will Lower Electricity Costs

President Donald Trump is pressing Big Tech to build its own power as AI data centers spark anger over electric bills. On Wednesday, he hosted technology companies at the White House and promoted a “ratepayer protection” pledge. The pledge asks companies to build or buy new generation for their centers and asks them to pay for grid upgrades. Experts say the deal lacks federal enforcement and doubt that promises by the tech companies can slow down fast-rising electricity prices.
