Should you fall short of these standards and fail to provide anything other than a safe and direct benefit for the communities that house these data centers, we will reject their construction.

Krishnamoorthi was listed as a signer of a congressional letter warning tech industry leaders that members would reject data center construction if companies failed to meet stated community-benefit and development standards.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

Data centers avoid scrutiny by seeking NDAs that limit community input on AI data center locations and impacts. All four Big Tech companies routinely request nondisclosure agreements from utility companies, landowners, other commercial partners, and in some cases even government officials.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): A recent official Senate oversight release found continuing NDA use and community-input limits in data-center development, indicating the underlying guardrail problem remains active; it does not show that Krishnamoorthi secured rejection of a noncompliant project or enacted binding guardrails.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.
