AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to study what happens when data centers are built within or near military bases, rail hubs, airports, air cargo facilities, air traffic control facilities, and industrial zones. The study would look at construction costs and at effects on the energy grid, the environment, and water systems. It would also identify locations that have enough physical space, water infrastructure, and grid capacity to host new data centers, and list possible federal incentives to encourage data centers at these sites. A report on the findings would be due to certain House and Senate committees within 180 days after the bill becomes law.
