众议院民主党人正采取行动,阻止数据中心获得高额联邦税收减免,而人工智能(AI)热潮正加速这些设施在全美范围内的扩张。
此举令民主党与特朗普总统产生分歧,后者将数据中心作为其“美国人工智能议程”的核心内容。在美国为争夺这一新兴科技行业的主导地位展开竞争之际,本届政府一直在寻求加快数据中心建设并简化审批流程。
密歇根州民主党众议员克里斯汀·麦克唐纳·里维特与北卡罗来纳州民主党众议员唐·戴维斯于周三公布一项法案,将禁止数据中心获取某些联邦投资激励政策。

此次涉及的激励政策并非专为人工智能或数据中心设立。但该行业大规模的基础设施投资有资格获得这些可观的税收优惠,这促使民主党推动将数据中心排除在外,因为人们越来越担心数据中心会带来电力需求、水资源消耗以及当地发展等问题。
该法案获得另外21名众议院民主党议员的支持,其中包括筹款委员会成员、加利福尼亚州民主党众议员吉米·帕内塔。
“华盛顿正在向大型科技公司发放救济金,而美国家庭却在苦苦挣扎。我在自己的选区听到人们谈论最多的就是这个问题,”麦克唐纳·里维特在周三的新闻发布会上说道。
“从不断上涨的食品杂货、汽油、住房、医疗保健等各类成本来看,这些都是本末倒置的优先事项,它们完美地体现了华盛顿运作方式的一切弊端——为大企业和特殊利益集团服务,却牺牲了工薪阶层的利益。”

在国会大厦外与麦克唐纳·里维特一同出席活动时,北卡罗来纳州民主党众议员黛博拉·罗斯指出了其所在罗利地区选区对数据中心建设的担忧,指责科技公司在不披露计划的情况下购买土地,企图绕过当地民众的意见。
“他们试图绕过当地公民在城镇和城市建设数据中心问题上发表意见的权利,”罗斯说道。
这位议员还指出,该行业的快速扩张正在加剧电力和水资源的紧张,而开发商却能从联邦和州的税收优惠中获益。
“苦苦挣扎的是美国民众,而非需要税收减免的大型科技公司,”罗斯说道。

新罕布什尔州民主党众议员克里斯·帕帕斯认为,数据中心建设导致其选区民众的成本上升,因为这些设施对电力和水资源供应的需求不断增加。
他还表示,社区应该对数据中心的选址拥有更多话语权。
“我们的城市和城镇不应在没有任何补救途径的情况下被迫强行接受这些数据中心,”帕帕斯说道。“他们有权决定什么对自己的社区是合适的。”

House Democrats are moving to stop data centers from receiving lucrative federal tax breaks as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom accelerates their expansion nationwide.
The moves put Democrats at odds with President Donald Trump as he makes data centers central to his American AI agenda. The administration has sought to accelerate data center development and streamline permitting as the U.S. competes for dominance in the emerging tech industry.
Reps. Kristen McDonald Rivet, D-Mich., and Don Davis, D-N.C., unveiled legislation Wednesday that would block data centers from tapping certain federal investment incentives.

The incentives in question weren’t created specifically for AI or data centers. But the industry’s massive infrastructure investments can qualify for these substantial tax benefits, which prompted Democrats to push to exclude data centers as concerns grow over electricity demand, water use and local development.
The bill is backed by 21 additional House Democrats, including Ways and Means Committee member Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif.
“Washington is giving handouts to Big Tech companies while American families are drowning. I hear that word in my district more than any other,” McDonald Rivet said at a news conference Wednesday.
“From rising costs, groceries, gas, housing, healthcare and a lot more. These are backward priorities, and they perfectly encapsulate everything that is wrong with the way Washington works, serving interests of big corporations and special interests at the expense of working people.”

Speaking alongside McDonald Rivet outside the Capitol, Rep. Deborah Ross, D-N.C., pointed to concerns over data center development in her Raleigh-area district, accusing tech companies of buying land without disclosing their plans in a plot to sidestep local input.
“They’ve sought to bypass local citizens’ right to provide input on putting a data center in their towns and cities,” Ross said.
The lawmaker also argued that the industry’s rapid expansion is straining electricity and water resources while developers benefit from federal and state tax incentives.
“It’s Americans struggling to get by, not Big Tech who need tax breaks,” Ross said.

Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., argued that data center development is contributing to higher costs for his constituents as the facilities place growing demands on electricity and water supplies.
He also said communities should have more control over where the facilities are built.
“Our cities and towns shouldn’t have these data centers shoved down their throats without any recourse,” Pappas said. “They deserve the right to decide what’s appropriate for their community.”
