Duke Energy’s proposed large load tariff is an important step toward protecting North Carolina families from the costs of data centers’ growing energy use, but more work remains.

As utility bills continue to rise, data centers and other large energy users must pay their fair share for the power they use and the new costs they put on our energy grid.

As North Carolina grows, so does the demand on our electric grid. Large energy users, including data centers, must pay their fair share of the costs associated with serving them.

Good governance requires less talking, and more listening. So when thousands of Pennsylvanians wrote me letters, sent me texts, left comments, and came up to me in person to tell me how concerned they are about AI data centers, I knew we had to do something.

We need to embrace innovation, but we have to do it in a way that doesn’t harm North Carolinians. Data centers should bring their own clean power and pay for their own energy, not leave families paying higher electricity bills because of data centers’ energy demands.

Data centers must pay their own way to lower our electricity costs. It’s time for the Utilities Commission to make Duke Energy’s voluntary pledge legally binding so that North Carolina families do not bear the costs of data centers. (link)

We’re not going to let greedy developers bully their way into our communities and build reckless AI data centers. I took action. And now, if you want to build here in Pennsylvania, you’re going to need to follow the strictest standards in the nation.

This week, I enacted the strictest requirements IN THE NATION for AI data centers… but now I need your help. We’re launching a new website where you can tell us about data center projects in your area and your concerns about them.

We’re not going to let greedy developers bully their way into our communities in order to build reckless AI data centers. If you want to build here in Pennsylvania, you’re going to need to follow the strictest standards in the nation — or you better find somewhere else.

From Archbald to Montgomery County to all across Pennsylvania, to your comments, texts, calls, and letters to my office, I’ve heard you loud and clear: Pennsylvanians do not want AI data centers in their communities that would raise their utility costs and pollute their resources.

BREAKING: I just signed an Executive Order implementing the strictest standards in the nation for AI data centers — because I will not allow Pennsylvanians to be bullied by greedy developers and bulldozed by the lawyers working for these big tech companies.

In the news

Everything else

Everything else, newest first. These rows have no records beside them.

How this works

Where rows come from. News rows come from the GDELT Global Knowledge Graph, a public index of world news. Official rows come from Bluesky accounts listed on a government page. A person does not pick each row, and nobody here has read each story. The GDELT Project, Global Knowledge Graph 2.1, https://www.gdeltproject.org/. Files for 2026-11-09 read for this list. GDELT's terms ask for this citation and link; its terms page, read 4 November 2026, is dated 2013-2022.

Listing is not endorsement. A row means an outlet published this headline, not that we agree with it or have checked it. "Carried by" counts the outlets we saw using the same headline. It says nothing about whether the story is right.

Dates. Dates for news are the date GDELT saw the article, not the date it was published.

Labels. Press releases republished on general news sites carry the News label, because we can only tell a release from its host.

What we cannot see. We cannot see most social media. Posts by ordinary people appear here only if news covers them.

Our reviewed work is elsewhere. Evidence & answers and Public statements are the reviewed layers. News is the policy changes view.

Report a problem. If a row is wrong, names someone who should not be named, or points at the wrong place, tell us here and we will take it down.
