Verified Quotes & Evidence
"The development of data centers should be decided at the local level, by the very communities that will be impacted. I cannot and will not support the construction of data centers in our communities until developers can demonstrate how they will cover 100% of the costs required to power their facilities, without shifting any costs to consumers or threatening the reliability of our electrical grid."
