Data centers help drive energy prices DOWN: The states with rapid electricity demand growth are home to lower electricity prices. States like NY, CA, and MA that produce less electricity, have higher prices.

Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “If you want low electricity prices …you want to build data centers. I know they’re controversial, but if you look at the states that have growing demand for electricity, they have flat or declining electricity prices.”

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright says data centers are “The biggest force we have right now to stop the rise of electricity prices and ultimately to drive them down” - American have been seeing increases of 27-42% on their electric bills - 267% electric bill increases have been reported right next to data centers in places like Baltimore and Northern Virginia Also I looked into how data centers can lower prices and really it comes down to them using so much power they build more energy sources So this doesn’t sound good…

🚨Secretary Chris Wright: "Bernie has it wrong on both points." THE FACTS: ✔️The U.S. must lead in AI to protect our national security—NOT China. ✔️States that have reduced their production of electricity have higher costs—this is not a result of AI data centers.

Done badly, data centers can raise electricity prices. Done right—by connecting onto a grid with ample capacity or by adding new capacity—data centers can lower electricity prices. The goal should be to build data centers the right way. My appearance on the The Will Cain Show

Green energy mandates have driven up electricity prices in New York while shrinking the state’s overall electricity production. Data centers are the greatest tool we have right now to stop the rise in electricity prices and ultimately bring them back down.

Electricity prices vary by state because energy policies vary by state. Blue states run by climate extremists have electricity prices THREE TIMES higher than other parts of the country!

The Trump administration wants to bring COMMON SENSE energy policies to all 50 states. Secretary Chris Wright: “It is political choices that leaders make that make energy expensive...There's 28 states that passed these renewable portfolio standards...Those 28 states, on average, have 50% HIGHER electricity rates.”

Today, I'm introducing the first-ever Data Center Bill of Rights. Communities deserve the right to reject data centers, protect their water, keep electricity bills down, and prevent states from shoving data centers down their throats.

Many states in America are creating deals for Data Centers exempting them from all sales taxes - Servers - CPUs - Mechanical equipment - Electricity - Electrical outlets - ‘Supplies’ - and so much more So while you have to pay a sales tax, data centers are completely exempt 38 states gives tax exemptions like this to data centers

Secretary Chris Wright is 100% right. Letting data centers drive new energy production will strengthen American innovation, create American jobs, and LOWER electricity costs for American families. The private sector moves faster than the government EVER will!

I sat down with Gabriella Hoffman to discuss the ground truth of data centers, energy consumption, environmental protections, community backlash, CCP influence, and why electricity prices are really going up. Enjoy!

The U.S. Secretary of Energy explains why electricity gets cheaper when more power is built which is why fast-growing data center states often have cheaper power than NY, CA & MA. Big data centers create the demand that makes new power projects worth building.

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up. The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.
