Demand data centers pay their own way.

John,
We're fighting for a clean energy future in Washington, where our communities are healthy, our bills are affordable, and our precious water is protected. Efficient, reliable, and 100% clean energy powers this future. It doesn't sacrifice our climate goals for corporate profits. As we move to clean energy, we must ensure that every community benefits.
Protecting ratepayers is a matter of economic and racial justice.
Our clean energy future is being threatened by the explosion of mega data centers built by companies like Amazon and Microsoft. These massive facilities use as much power as a city. This huge demand forces utilities to make costly grid upgrades.
This situation threatens to pull the state back toward fossil fuel generation. We cannot let Big Tech's expansion break our climate commitments or make our electricity bills spike. This is urgent. Take action now. [[link removed]]
Right now, a state work group is working on recommendations to the governor regarding who will pay for the massive infrastructure growth that data centers require. Big tech companies want to dump the costs of new power plants and expensive grid upgrades onto you, the ratepayer.
The work group is asking for public comments right now—but the window closes soon! Tell the work group to protect our climate laws and to make Big Tech pay for their own infrastructure, not you. [[link removed]]
Take action now! [[link removed]]
Onward,
