The AI boom is driving US tech giants to build large-scale data centers, but the massive electricity consumption of these centers has sparked discontent among the American public. According to White House officials, US President Trump will launch a non-binding initiative on Thursday (Eastern Time), requiring data centers to pay higher electricity bills for running AI models. This move aims to quell public protests against the construction of AI data centers, protect American households from rising electricity costs, and position the US as a global leader in the AI field.
