US House votes 417-3 to bar AI data centers from shifting electricity costs to households

The US House passed a bill with overwhelming bipartisan support (417-3) requiring AI data centers to pay for their own electricity infrastructure, preventing cost pass-through to residential ratepayers. The measure targets a growing fiscal concern as AI-driven power demand strains grids. Senate action and implementation details remain uncertain, but the vote signals a political shift against subsidizing AI expansion at household expense.
