Applaud Senators Standing Up to Big Tech Over Energy Costs

Senators Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen, and Richard Blumenthal are standing up for families who are being hit with soaring electricity bills — and they deserve our applause. The senators have launched an investigation into whether massive, energy-hungry data centers operated by tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are driving up utility costs for everyday Americans.

As data centers expand rapidly to power AI and cloud computing, they now consume enormous amounts of electricity — sometimes enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. In some regions, electricity prices have jumped by more than 200%, while trillion-dollar tech companies benefit from tax breaks, subsidies, and lax oversight. The senators are demanding transparency, accountability, and fairness — insisting that Big Tech pay its fair share instead of passing costs onto working families.

Add your name to applaud Senators Warren, Van Hollen, and Blumenthal for holding powerful corporations accountable, protecting consumers from unfair price hikes, and fighting for a more just and affordable energy system.
