Stops the U.S. government from building data centers on federal land.
The problem
Data centers require large amounts of land and power. Federal lands may be used for this purpose, raising concerns about land use priorities and environmental impact.
The proposal
The bill prohibits constructing data centers on any land owned or controlled by the federal government.
The impact
Tech companies, data center operators, and some communities lose a potential location option. Federal land managers face new restrictions on land use decisions.
Keeps federal lands available for conservation, recreation, and other public uses. Prevents large industrial facilities from taking over government-owned territory.
Data centers use massive amounts of water and electricity. Preventing them on federal land may reduce environmental damage to sensitive ecosystems.
Federal lands often serve outdoor recreation and public purposes. Blocking data centers keeps these lands available for hiking, camping, and wildlife.
Data centers are critical infrastructure for internet, cloud computing, and AI. Restricting locations may slow tech expansion and digital infrastructure growth.
The federal government loses flexibility in managing its own land. This removes one option for developing federal property or generating revenue.
Companies forced to use private land instead may develop sensitive private areas. This could shift environmental impact to non-federal property.
Federal lands could generate tax revenue or jobs through data center development. The ban eliminates this potential economic benefit.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
