We are on the same grid as the capital of data centers.

Is this a big issue?

It is a huge issue in Prince George's.

I stopped the data center in Prince George's.

We have ones that they just stopped in Charles County and Calvert is not having it.

So we have at least three of the five jurisdictions within congressional five fighting data centers.

And yet and still, we're looking at Oracle possibly.

And they even even before the four million dollars that's come in from AI crypto, Oracle, all of these things, they were getting money from Oracle data center folks.

And I would just tell you this.

Our bills are going up high.

We are on the same grid.

We are on a 13 state grid with the same grid as the capital data centers, Virginia.

So that's why our bills are even higher than other areas.

We are struggling to stop.

We have in Prince William County, 20 hyperscale data centers coming up.

And if that and our PJM, our administrator told us if the hyperscale data centers keep coming up, we are going to have blackouts.

So we are in trouble.

And it's because of data centers.

We have got to pause data centers.

I am full support of Senator Sanders' bill.
