(Detroit, MI) – Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers says the state needs to enact a one-year moratorium on data centers. Rogers says he doesn’t support a federal ban on the centers, but says Michigan “needs stronger guardrails to protect community control, prevent utility price hikes, protect our water and stop pay-to-play schemes.” Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Dr. Abdul El-Sayed says data center costs cannot be passed to ratepayers, and penalties need to be set up if the data centers don’t create the jobs promised.
Rogers says El-Sayed’s proposal gives power to the Michigan Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in the state.
