Elizabeth Warren and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley have joined forces to demand more transparency regarding data center energy use.<\/li>\n<li>They sent a letter to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to establish a mandatory annual reporting requirement for data centers.<\/li>\n<li>Data centers are large-scale facilities primarily owned by major tech companies, consuming vast amounts of land, water, and electricity.<\/li>\n<li>The exact energy and resource demands of data centers are often unknown, which is prompting the senators&#8217; call for transparency to enhance grid planning and policymaking.<\/li>\n<li>Anticipated energy demand for data centers is projected to more than double by 2035, raising concerns about cost and environmental impact.<\/li>\n<li>The bipartisan collaboration signifies a significant move to address the growing footprint of data centers on the global energy grid.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, other lawmakers such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders have proposed a bill to temporarily halt data center construction until safeguard measures are put in place.<\/li>\n<li>The urgency behind these actions highlights the broad implications of the technological revolution driven by artificial intelligence and robotics concerning energy consumption and policy adjustments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley Push for Data Center Energy Transparency https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/senators-warren-hawley-push-data-center-energy-transparency\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":199518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/98c38eeffc9a1031e54173748761153697727d4a\/hub\/2025\/09\/11\/20a5fc31-f635-4d05-98a0-a3a18dd5ca2e\/stargate-advances-with-partnership-with-oracle-1.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=675&width=1200","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-199517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199517"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199517"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":199519,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199517\/revisions\/199519"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
