CoreWeave says data center backlash does not translate into weaker AI demand, no drop in orders

CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator said AI companies\' demand for infrastructure is not weakening despite community backlash and tougher regulation around data center construction. He said there had been no decline in orders and argued that even if regulations target data centers, they would only shift where infrastructure is built rather than reduce demand. Opposition to large projects is growing across the United States, and New York has signed a statewide construction moratorium for large data centers.

U.S. House to vote on bill to curb AI data center-driven power bill hikes

The U.S. House of Representatives is moving to process legislation that would require operators of large AI data centers to bear the cost of new grid and transmission infrastructure linked to their rising power use. The bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act would also allow states to adopt rules preventing those costs from being passed on to households and small businesses. The bill comes as U.S. electricity demand is forecast to rise through 2027.

Trump says AI could be bigger than the internet, highlights datacentre expansion to compete with China

U.S. President Donald Trump said AI could become a bigger industry than the internet and that regulation should not choke growth as the United States competes with China. Speaking at a White House event with crypto industry figures and financial regulators, he also backed expanding AI infrastructure, including datacentres. Trump said companies should build power plants for datacentres rather than rely on ageing grids. Opposition is rising over power bills, water use and environmental impact, prompting protests and tougher state action.
