A TIME article by Andrew R. Chow reports that the Senate advanced the bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, which would ease energy construction and require data centers to pay grid upgrade costs, but which critics like Allie Rosenbluth call a "massive giveaway" to the data center industry. Supporters, including labor leaders and many experts, contend it will create jobs and lower household bills, while Trump, urging passage, wrote that "China will take any Data Center that we don't want."
