WSJ：民主党赢得两院与关键州长后，美国约半数拟建 AI 数据中心或面临更严本地审查
WSJ: Half of proposed US AI data center additions could face tougher local scrutiny after Democrats won the House, Senate and key governorships.
WSJ 报道称，民主党赢得众议院、参议院和多个关键州长职位后，美国约半数拟新增的 AI 数据中心可能面临更严格的本地审查。得克萨斯和俄亥俄等此前对建设者友好的州，可能在居民获得供水与电价保证前暂停施工。Meta 总裁 Dina Powell McCormick 表示，每家超大规模云厂商都在考虑在美国以外建设；OpenAI 在数日内承诺在数据中心交易中避免签署保密协议，并避免让居民承担项目电费。国会民主党人预计将通过听证会和传票调查 AI 安全事件，有望出任参议院银行委员会主席的 Elizabeth Warren 曾就英伟达对华芯片销售要求与 CEO 黄仁勋举行听证会，但被拒绝。
