Unanimous Consent Requests (Executive Session)
Senators debated the Ratepayer Protection Act, which deals with large data centers and electricity costs. Jon Husted asked the Senate to pass it by unanimous consent, saying the House passed it 417 to 3 and that data centers should pay for the grid upgrades they require so families’ bills don’t rise. Martin Heinrich objected, saying the bill only asks states to consider such requirements, and asked that the Senate instead take up his own bill, the GRID Savings Act, which would require data centers to pay. Bernie Moreno objected to Heinrich’s request, saying Husted’s bill with a deposit requirement was the better approach and calling the other bill added federal red tape. Husted responded that he would keep pushing for passage of the House-passed bill.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
