美国参议院民主党人周三否决了由俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·休斯特德领导的数据中心能源法案，该法案旨在将数据中心的电力成本转移给公用事业公司而非消费者。2投票结果为57票对43票，未达到推进该法案所需的60票门槛。2众议院曾在9月初以几乎全票通过了这一法案。2这一举措阻碍了共和党在11月中期选举前展示其在能源可承受性问题上采取行动的计划。3
民主党领导层对该法案提出了批评，称其在解决数据中心电力消耗问题上"缺乏实质内容"。23
Senate Democrats on Wednesday defeated the Affordable Protection Act, a Republican-backed measure aimed at addressing energy costs associated with data centers.2 The bill, sponsored in the House by Colorado Republican Gabe Evans and in the Senate by Ohio Republican Jon Husted, failed to advance after receiving 57 votes in favor against 43 opposed—falling short of the 60-vote threshold required for passage.2 The House had passed the legislation by nearly unanimous support in early September.2
Democrats characterized the proposal as ineffective in tackling data center power consumption, with Democratic leadership dismissing it as "toothless" and lacking substantive protections for consumers.13 The bill had sought to shift electricity costs for data centers to utility companies rather than consumers, yet Democrats argued it would provide no meaningful solution to rising energy affordability concerns.2 Republicans had pursued the measure as part of their legislative agenda to demonstrate action on affordability issues ahead of the November midterm elections.13
