Senator Martin Heinrich from New Mexico blocked a bipartisan bill aimed at controlling the rising costs associated with data centers in the Senate. This bill was designed to reduce the costs of public services related to data centers, which have significantly increased in recent years. Heinrich described the bill as a "half-hearted measure" and criticized its inadequacy.
