Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria [D-NY-14]

HR 9442

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced a federal bill that would pause new AI data center construction, likely citing energy consumption and grid strain concerns. The bill is in early committee review at House Energy and Commerce and Foreign Affairs, so it is far from becoming law, but it signals growing political pressure on the AI infrastructure buildout.
