Washington lawmakers introduced a bill to regulate data centers, but tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon Web Services lobbied to weaken it. The bill, now passed by the House, aims to increase power rates, promote clean energy, and add transparency on resource use.

The bill faces further cuts and debates in Senate committees, reflecting national trends as public pressure mounts.
