Governors Back AI Data Center Pledge | Indianapolis News

Indiana Governor Mike Braun joins 23 other Republican governors in backing Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge, aiming to shield consumers and businesses from rising utility costs driven by booming data centers. The pledge demands tech companies pay for new infrastructure and hire locally, aligning with Trump’s pitch of AI as a “money machine” and the EPA’s push to lead in global AI. Braun’s “IN AI” initiative seeks to position Indiana as AI-ready, while over 200 utilities and 30 data center developers endorse the plan — signaling a major industry-wide effort to balance tech growth with economic and consumer protection.
