Trump vows to make tech giants cover surging US data center power costs
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that major technology firms should shoulder the electricity costs of their data centers so ordinary Americans do not face higher utility bills, after US power prices climbed around 40% over five years. He highlighted ongoing work with Microsoft, which is set to implement significant changes this week, while separate industry estimates point to rapidly rising electricity demand from data centers and AI workloads through 2030.
