President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced plans to coordinate with technology companies to build their own power generation for data centers.
In his State of the Union address, Trump announced a “ratepayer protection pledge” under which he said “major tech companies” would “have the obligation to provide for their own power needs.”
“They can build their own power plants as part of their factory so that no one’s prices will go up, and in many cases, prices of electricity will go down for the community, and very substantially down,” Trump said.
