Senate Democrat blocks House-passed bill on data center electricity costs
Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) blocked a unanimous-consent attempt by Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) to pass the House-approved Ratepayer Protection Act, which would push states to consider making data centers pay incremental electricity infrastructure costs. Heinrich argued the bill is toothless and tried to pass his own stricter Grid Savings Act, but Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) objected.
