'You can't fight it': Trump defends data centers, signs up 23 governors to shield Americans from price hikes

President Donald Trump is bullish on American technology and keen to see America dominate the "global race for AI." He has, accordingly, become a champion of artificial intelligence data centers and has even tasked his administration with using federally owned land and resources to help develop them.Trump emphasized during an event on Thursday at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in the national capital that opposition to the erection of data centers across the country is futile — but that consumers should not fear having to shoulder the burden of supporting such inevitable facilities.'You have to go with it.'In his State of the Union address in February, the president acknowledged that many Americans are "concerned that energy demand from AI data centers could unfairly drive up their electric utility bills."Recent polls show that Americans largely oppose data centers. A Gallup poll conducted in March found that 71% of Americans somewhat or strongly oppose the construction of an AI data center in their area. A survey conducted this month by Public First found that 41% of respondents oppose building a data center within three miles of their homes, up from 28% in January, and only 24% of respondents support such an initiative, down from 37% at the beginning of the year.To assuage such concerns, Trump announced in his SOTU speech that the negotiation of the "Rate Payer Protection Pledge," which has companies agree to: spare consumers from price hikes by building, bringing, or buying new power supply; paying for new power delivery infrastructure upgrades; paying special rates "whether they use the electricity or not"; and investing local job creation.Within days of the announcement, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI signed the nonbinding pledge.On Thursday, Trump revealed that the pledge now has among its signatories 23 governors, various state legislators, numerous electricity providers, and data center developers.RELATED: The path to America-first AI The three Republican governors who did not sign the pledge were Phil Scott of Vermont, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, and Ron DeSantis of Florida. DeSantis ratified legislation in May to ensure that "local governments maintain the authority to reject data center development in their communities" and to protect Florida's water resources from data center consumption.According to the White House, the pledge "now covers 80% of all power delivered to U.S. homes and businesses and protects 263 million Americans when a data center is built nearby."After suggesting that adherence to the pledge and the construction of additional infrastructure to support the incoming data centers would actually drive down utility rates, Trump stressed that "America's goal must be to dominate the future, and that includes being the number one superpower in artificial intelligence.""Whoever wins that race is probably going to win, period," he added.Trump suggested that foreign "propaganda" might be partly to blame for those "communists" and others now opposed to having data centers in their back yards. According to the president, communities desirous of data centers "are the smart communities because it means tremendous numbers of jobs, very little actual disruption.""You have to convince your community how great these things — you can't fight it. You have to go with it," said Trump. "If you don't have it, everybody else wants it."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

JD Vance Distressed as MAGA Gets Fed Up With His B.S.

JD Vance Distressed as MAGA Gets Fed Up With His B.S.

Republicans are trying to take JD Vance down, leaving the vice president worried about his political future. The Washington Post reports that Vance is getting hit with attacks online from within the GOP, with sources close to him claiming it’s a planned “op” to hurt his prospects. Vance has faced backlash in recent months over his involvement in negotiations with Iran, which led to an already collapsed ceasefire agreement, and over what critics claim are decisions that go against President Trump, according to the Post. He is even being compared to Republican bogeymen like former President Obama and Senator Bernie Sanders. Vance’s inner circle believes it’s all aimed at preventing his ascension to the GOP’s 2028 nomination for president. Unnamed sources close to Vance complained to the Post that the criticism isn’t genuine and comes from a planned “op.” But Vance’s allies are trying to spin the attacks, claiming that coordinated opposition from “establishment” and “neoconservative” Republicans could actually help him. “Loud Washington establishment voices form an online cacophony,” Steve Cortes, a conservative commentator, told the Post, “but they do not remotely represent the consensus views of Republican voters.”Vance also took heat from many Republicans for criticizing Israeli opposition to the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding last month, even though his criticism didn’t go that far. Those attacks were renewed earlier this month after Vance sat for an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, in which he said that paid influencers were attacking him in “dishonest ways.” “You know, my response to that is, ‘Well, go to hell,’” Vance said to Rogan. “I’m going to do what I have to do for the American people. I represent Americans first, and that’s the way that I’ve tried to do this job.”Vance leads 2028 Republican presidential primary polls ahead of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others, and even Trump seems to favor him as his successor. As the presidential election looms closer, Vance is going to be hit with more attacks and rival candidates will soon emerge. Will Vance overcome them, or will another candidate capitalize?
