Election day was a mandate: Americans are done with skyrocketing energy costs and footing the bill for the data center boom. The good news is that new Democratic majorities in state legislatures across the country mean we have a real chance to pass smart, sustainable data center policies that are good for our climate and our wallets. As experts in clean-energy policy who know how to achieve bold climate progress at the state level, Evergreen Action’s team of policymakers has developed a bold and practical data center policy blueprint that state leaders can implement right now to ensure that data centers invest in new clean energy generation and pay their fair share. Help us turn momentum into meaningful change for communities: Sign our petition to demand strong guardrails for data centers and stop profit-driven spikes in energy costs, and urge states to support Evergreen’s policy platform for responsible data center development today.
