Senate prepares vote on energy approvals and data center grid costs
Image: Primary The Senate is preparing a procedural vote on bipartisan legislation that would speed approvals for energy projects and require large data centers to bear more of the costs they impose on the power grid, Mashable reports.

Some Democrats believe its provisions could encourage more data center construction, creating tension with lawmakers who campaigned on restricting development over electricity costs, water consumption and community impacts.
