Neither congress nor the senate will stop them, they are ALL paid by them. How do you not get this yet?
A few exceptions do exist. Al Sayed about to join them. In Michigan, from the Senate, he's a good person.

Big Tech calls AI data centers an economic boom. The Senate investigation suggests a different business model: privatize the profits, socialize the electricity bills, collect tax breaks, and make everyone sign NDAs. A 100 MW facility may power through the equivalent of 100,000 homes while creating about 100 permanent jobs. That’s not a jobs program: it’s a subsidy program with servers.
