Pennsylvania has powered this country for hundreds of years.

And we know what happens when industries move faster than the protections meant to regulate them.

This time, we have a chance to get it right.

We’re going all in to put reforms in place on data centers which would: 

✔ Require that large data centers be powered by a significant amount of new, in-state clean energy sources

✔ Help prevent data centers from causing blackouts

✔ Protect families and small businesses from paying for connecting AI data centers to the grid

This is how we can start to protect families and communities before it’s too late.

I’m optimistic we can get this bill passed in the State Senate. It already gained the support of Republicans in the State House because they heard loud and clear from their constituents. We can win the support of a few Senate Republicans if they hear from their constituents right now. 

Together, we can ensure that data centers don’t jack up our power bills or create worse pollution problems that harm our communities. 

Thanks for weighing in.

PS. A lot of our supporters are asking about banning data centers altogether. We don’t oppose a ban on data centers, but we’ve decided that we would do more good by focusing our limited resources on putting protections in place so that Pennsylvania families aren’t harmed by data centers. We hope you help fight for these protections, and if you also want to support a ban on data centers, that’s great too.
