This is a stunt. Experts say it won’t stop data centers from driving up utility costs. Blocking clean energy here at home only makes it harder to lower bills—real relief comes from building a cleaner, more affordable, climate-resilient energy system.

Trump’s data center “pledge” is a toothless political stunt. Data center demand is skyrocketing, and Trump is blocking the only energy fast and cheap enough to meet it: clean energy.

Trump launched military action in one of the world’s most critical oil and gas regions—destabilizing global energy markets while gutting clean energy at home. Instead of real energy independence through affordable clean power, he’s putting Americans on the hook for higher prices.

Trump vowed “no more wars” and lower costs. Now he’s launching military action in Iran that will spike global oil prices and jack up prices at the pump. He had the chance to build a clean energy economy to protect families from foreign oil shocks—instead, we'll foot the bill.

If America is “the hottest country,” it’s because of record and deadly heat waves and climate disasters, not because Trump is rebuilding our economy. 173,000 clean energy jobs have been lost or put on hold because he chose Big Oil over US workers.
