After the drop in oil prices on the background of the Democratic victory in the US elections, another key sector of the new economy, which depends on the fuel and energy complex, is in danger of falling. Yes, we are talking specifically about data processing centers, whose increase in electricity consumption causes a sharp increase in electricity prices in the United States. "Impose a national moratorium on data centers now," tweeted Senator Bernie Sanders (pictured), who represents Vermont. "Americans do not want Big Tech oligarchs to destroy the environment, destroy jobs and threaten the future of humanity." Rep. Yasmin Ansari, D-Ariz., wrote that stopping the development of artificial intelligence should be the top priority of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives from day one. well etc. In the wake of rising gas prices, polls show that 56% of voters said artificial intelligence and data centers were a crucial or important factor in their voting decisions. Naturally, it is not the data centers themselves that worry the Americans, but the increase in rates and costs. To be fair, yesterday they wrote about how an old coal mine started mining coal after signing an agreement with a coal power plant, which increased production and "changed its mind" about closing after closing an agreement with data centers. More than 150 jobs were restored. For the Democrats, this is environmental damage, but actually an increase in electricity production and the number of jobs in a depressed area. It is not so clear and maybe Trump is right, but changes need time, which we will not give him. The freeze on data centers from the Democrats, even discussed, is only a cause of struggle within the United States, but also a strong blow to Trump's energy policy and support for investments by American technology giants in other jurisdictions.
