Congress agrees on almost nothing this year. This bill passed 417-3.
AI Policy / Congress
The House Passed a Bill to Make Data Centers Pay Their Own Power Costs, 417-3.
It's the Only AI Legislation Getting a Vote This Year.
Key Points
— The House passed the bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act 417-3 on Wednesday,
Sept. 16, requiring large AI data centers to cover their own new grid
infrastructure costs rather than passing them to consumers.
— The only opposition came from three progressive Democrats who said the bill
doesn't go far enough — not from members defending the industry.
— It was introduced by GOP Rep. Gabe Evans of Colorado, himself in a
competitive reelection race, with several other vulnerable Republicans signing
on as cosponsors.
— A recent NBC/SurveyMonkey poll found nearly 70% of respondents oppose data
centers being built in their own neighborhoods.
A near-unanimous vote, on lawmakers' last day in Washington before facing the
voters who forced it.
The US House of Representatives passed the Ratepayer Protection Act by a vote
of417-3 on Wednesday, September 16, requiring state utility regulators to
consider standards that would force AI data centers with 100 megawatts or more
of demand to cover the costs of the new power sources, transmission lines, and
grid infrastructure their facilities require — rather than passing those costs
on to ordinary ratepayers. The bill now heads to the Senate.
The near-unanimous margin is itself notable: House GOP leaders fast-tracked
the bill under a suspension procedure requiring two-thirds support, and it
cleared with bipartisan backing on lawmakers' last scheduled day in Washington
before the November midterms. The only opposition came from three progressive
Democrats — Summer Lee, Delia Ramirez, and Rashida Tlaib — who argued the bill
doesn't go far enough, not from anyone defending the industry. This newsletter
has tracked the political pressure building behind this exact vote for weeks:
Trump's own "backwards and poor" post, more than $215 million in AI-aligned
super PAC spending, and now a recent NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll finding nearly
70% of respondents oppose data centers in their own neighborhoods, with 45%
strongly opposed.

The bill was introduced by GOP Rep. Gabe Evans of Colorado, himself running in
a competitive reelection race, with several other Republicans facing tough
contests signing on as cosponsors in recent weeks — a direct read on how
seriously vulnerable incumbents are taking the issue heading into November.
President Trump, who otherwise backed the AI industry aggressively and
dismissed slowdown calls from Anthropic and OpenAI just days earlier, has
separately pushed data-center developers to sign a voluntary pledge to build or
purchase their own power supply — a softer, industry-driven parallel to what
this bill would make a regulatory standard. House Minority Leader Hakeem
Jeffries called the legislation "a step forward" while saying "more clearly
needs to be done."
The right balance of protecting local communities while keeping America on the
cutting edge.
— House Speaker Mike Johnson, on the legislation
🧠 Quick Quiz
How many House members voted against the Ratepayer Protection Act?
A. 0
B. 3
C. 45
✓ Answer: B. Just three progressive Democrats opposed it, arguing it doesn't
go far enough — the closest thing to unanimity Congress has managed on any
AI-related question this year.
Supporters describe the bill as a "modest first start," and it's genuinely
modest — it recommends a standard to state regulators rather than mandating
one, preserving the state-level authority that has already produced
Pennsylvania's harsh data-center rules and Florida's gubernatorial primary
fight over the same issue. But a 417-3 vote, on the last day before an
election, on the single AI-related bill Congress managed to bring to the floor
all year, is itself the clearest evidence yet that the backlash this newsletter
has tracked since August has fully arrived in Washington — not as rhetoric, but
as a recorded vote every member of the House just had to take.
