华盛顿，9月18日（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五表示，他正与参议院多数党领袖共和党人约翰·图恩接洽，推动一项法案提交全院表决，旨在保护家庭免受数据中心扩张相关的电价上涨影响。
“嗯，我正和他谈这件事，看看结果如何，”特朗普周五对记者说道。

本周早些时候，由共和党掌控的众议院以417票对3票通过了《用户保护法案》，该法案将要求州公用事业监管机构考量包括数据中心在内的大型电力用户是否应当承担为其服务的电力基础设施的增量成本。
参议院共和党人快速通过该法案的尝试于周四失败。
参议院能源与自然资源委员会最高民主党议员马丁·海因里希阻挠了这项提案，此前该法案的发起人、共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德请求不经唱名表决就一致同意投票。

海因里希表示，该法案仅依赖各州和数据中心开发商的自愿承诺，力度不够。
特朗普大力支持数据中心发展，认为这对人工智能领域的领先地位至关重要。特朗普本周称，数据中心能让民众和各州变得富有，称它们是“未来20至25年的石油”。
马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校近期的一项民调显示，仅有11%的美国人支持在自己所在社区建设人工智能数据中心。

WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Friday he is engaging with Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune about bringing to the floor a bill aimed at protecting households from electricity cost increases tied to the expansion of data centers.
“Well, I’m talking to him about it. We’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters on Friday.

Lawmakers from both parties have faced growing constituent concerns over rising electricity costs associated with the industry’s surging power demand.

Earlier this week, the Republican-majority House of Representatives voted 417 to 3 in favor of the Ratepayer Protection Act, which would require state utility regulators to consider whether large electricity users, including data centers, should bear the incremental costs of power infrastructure built to serve them.
An attempt by Senate Republicans to get the bill quickly passed failed on Thursday.
Senator Martin Heinrich, the top Democrat on the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, blocked the proposal, after its sponsor, Republican Senator Jon Husted, requested unanimous consent for a vote without a roll call.

Heinrich said the bill did not go far enough by relying on voluntary commitments from states and data center developers.
Trump strongly backs data center development as critical to leadership in artificial intelligence. Trump said this week data centers make people and states wealthy, calling them the “oil of the next 20, 25 years.”
Just 11% of Americans would support construction of an AI data center in their community, according to a recent poll by the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
