This bill would require regular federal reports on how U.S. data centers impact water use, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and electricity consumption. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would report every three months on water use, local water impacts, pollutants, and emissions, while the Energy Information Administration would report every six months on data center energy use by state and any effects on household energy bills. The aim is to provide clear, public information about the environmental effects of data centers and where they may strain local resources.
