Let local communities guide data-center decisions

Kevin Kiley says decisions about data centers should be determined locally, with local community buy-in. He also pointed to the House-passed Rate Data Protection Act, which aims to prevent nearby data centers' energy use from raising everyday Americans' energy bills.

Context: The passage does not specify how local approval would work or whether Kiley supports additional federal data-center rules.

In their own words

there needs to be buy in from the local community
