Concerns are growing among investors that Democratic lawmakers may introduce policies to curb the rapid expansion of U.S. data centers, which have become critical infrastructure for the AI industry. The expansion of these facilities has been driven by the surging demand for computing power needed to train advanced AI models, raising questions about regulatory oversight and environmental impact.
