Leading US power companies and data center operators have responded to President Trump's initiative and agreed to bear higher costs of electricity needed to support the operation of artificial intelligence models, hoping to use this to calm public dissatisfaction. Currently, popular opposition continues to ferment, related protests continue, and politicians are proposing restrictions on the expansion of the artificial intelligence industry. According to the White House contract list obtained by the media, nearly 200 institutions have signed the commitment, including companies such as NextEra Energy, Duke Energy, Equinix, and Digital Realty. The initiative aims to prevent AI's energy consumption from driving up electricity bills for ordinary people across the US. A White House official revealed that Trump plans to host an event at the US Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday to officially announce the promises of this group of companies. Republican governors such as Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also signed a letter of commitment and intend to attend related events. The official said that the electricity supplied by the agency that signed the pledge covers about 80% of the total electricity consumption of residents, industry, and commerce across the United States. However, it is quite difficult to implement this promise. Electricity pricing is usually determined jointly by state regulators and electricity buyers and sellers. However, this move is still the strongest attempt by the White House and the private sector to deal with public dissatisfaction caused by the surge in AI electricity use.
