A Senate Democrat just BLOCKED legislation that would help ensure AI data centers pay their own electricity, rather than pass costs onto Americans — backed by Trump
This was passed by the House 417 to 3 last night!!
SEN. HUSTED (R-OH): I ask unanimous consent to pass the bill
SEN. HEINRICH (D-NM): Reserving the right to object…
SEN. MORENO (R-OH): I just want to make clear what just happened…all we had to do was not have an objection from a Democrat senator, that bill would become LAW TODAY and electricity users would've seen IMMEDIATE RELIEF. We did NOTHING because of DEMOCRAT OBSTRUCTION! This bill would've done something!
Heinrich whined that it "didn't do enough…" and by doing this, he ensured NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL.
Reality check: as a result of Democrats' objection, this bill is now STALLED in the Senate. If he wanted to "do more," he should've let this fly through, then filed to get more done!
President Trump's executive order on this needs to be codified!
Well, there you have it. The Democrats in the Senate just voted in direct contrast to the interests of Americans.
