Innovation Council Action founder Taylor Budowich told a Breitbart News policy event that political teams should hear local people first and then deal with electricity and water worries tied to artificial intelligence and data centers. He said the projects should expand opportunity and reduce costs instead of burdening towns, and that better rules can ease the political trouble while poor rules feed it.

Asked by Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle what to take from President Donald Trump, Budowich said Trump often follows instinct, refuses to let frightened coverage or partisan pressure set his course, and has opened energy work that aids nearby residents. Large technology firms have promised to hold electric bills steady. Budowich credited EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin with cutting barriers after power construction, which had doubled each decade for twenty or thirty years, then stalled under bureaucracy.
