Morning Wire · The War on Data Centers & Parasite Hits the Produce Aisle | 7.16.26 · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

And computing power comes from data centers.

And China could absolutely come out on top if companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are throttled in developing their new models due to a lack of data centers.

And President Trump is not the only one making that argument.

Congressman Josh Gottheimer, for example, the New Jersey Democrat who co-chairs the House Democratic Commission on AI, actually made a similar point.

He said, quote, just having a blanket moratorium saying we're just going to pack up, go home, hand AI over to China and let them beat us makes zero sense to me.

And Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman had a two-word reaction to Hochul's order on X, saying, quote, China wins.

Well, there's no question that data centers do require a good bit of power to run.

But Trump's energy secretary, Chris Wright, went on Fox and argued that electric prices in places like California and New York are going up not because of data centers, but because of bad Democratic energy policy.

Supporters of the AI industry will also point to states like Virginia, where you have more data centers per capita than any other state.

They say that the tax revenue brought in by these data centers has benefited everyone across the Commonwealth and that the electricity prices in Virginia have not gone up despite the huge increase in new data center construction that we've seen.

And it's worth noting that the industry is reading the tea leaves on this issue.

Dozens of tech companies signed a voluntary pledge with the White House a few months ago, committing to buy, bring, or build their own power supply so ordinary residents don't foot the bill.

Yeah, there's a good chance that New York is just the first domino to fall here.

Democratic lawmakers in 15 states have now introduced similar moratorium proposals.

And Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced a bill of their own in Congress that would impose a nationwide pause on data center construction.

Party leadership has not yet gotten behind Sanders' proposal, but it is pretty clear that it isn't the last moratorium we're going to be seeing.

There could be a much bigger federal push, though it remains to be seen if that would gain momentum.
