This includes hiring employees from those communities. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=3959\">Here\u2019s how much fuel prices went up after Red Sea attacks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The roundtable Thursday detailed the expansion of the pledge and how many answered the administration\u2019s call. <\/p>\n<p>The White House shared a fact sheet noting that more than 200 organizations have committed to the pledge across \u201cevery stakeholder in the U.S. power system.\u201d Those organizations will cover roughly 80% of the power delivered to American homes and businesses. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cData center infrastructure is the foundation of modern American life \u2013 from the internet and cloud computing to hospital records and 911 dispatch. As that infrastructure scales, so does the electricity it needs \u2013 and, without safeguards, so do the utility bills of ordinary Americans who had nothing to do with driving that demand,&#8221; the White House said explaining the reasoning behind the pledge. <\/p>\n<p>The continued development of data centers across the country has been met by mixed reviews, particularly over the environmental and water impacts that the centers have on local communities. <\/p>\n<p> Still, the White House pointed out that it\u2019s not just artificial intelligence that needs data centers, every part of modern American life with modern technology and demands need a data center, including Netflix, Google Maps, air traffic control and more. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t all negative stuff. You have communities that really want the data centers, and frankly, those are smart communities because it means tremendous numbers of jobs,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin was also in attendance.
