Bernie Sanders Wants a Data Center Moratorium. Here's What Congress Can Realistically Do

Sen. Bernie Sanders is demanding a national data center moratorium after Democrats won control of Congress. The Nasdaq fell 6.36% into correction territory Thursday on fears of a slower data center buildout. Nvidia fell 9% as investors weighed the risk to data center spending. Still, a presidential veto could kill the bill, and Democrats are split over it. Can a Data Center Moratorium Survive a Veto? Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the bill earlier this year. It would pause new US data center projects until Congress writes rules on electricity bills, environmental harm, and community approval. Democratic control of Congress improves its odds. However, Republicans still hold the White House. Democrats take control only when lawmakers are sworn in on Jan. 3.
