During an Energy and Commerce Committee markup in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday night, Rep. Frank Pallone (NJ-6) blindsided allies and opponents alike when he announced his support for a nationwide moratorium on new data center construction. The opposition is fighting development at every level of government. It’s critical we all engage — whether at the local, state or federal level — to set the record straight and fight back against misinformation.
UA General President Mark McManus will continue to fight to protect this work and UA jobs even as opposition to data centers grows on both sides of the aisle. The UA has been building data centers since the invention of the internet, and we are constantly working to ensure the data centers are built responsibly. Get the facts on data centers here.
