Comment by Ron Wyden

U.S. Senator from Oregon, Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee; longtime advocate for healthcare and technology policy
American communities are rightfully questioning whether the rapid buildout of data centers across the nation will benefit them, as local disruptions rise and Americans grow concerned about the long-term career prospects of millions of workers. These proposals are a first step towards safeguarding taxpayer dollars and ensuring there are resources to support American workers displaced by the coming disruptions to the economy.
