The problem with the block grant, if you use my State, you can write into this language that would not allow this, but there is the danger that you send the block grant to the State and they use the money to fund the program already there. You can try to avoid that through legislation, but it is always going to be a problem. If there is not enough money, they use it for the existing program and do not expand it to include anybody else.
Discussing concerns about block grants and their impact on state funding for programs.

If FERC gets this right, then it will have granted American families a measure of protection from the costs imposed by data centers.
I knew it was not going to go well, but I didn't know it was going to be this bad.
If Congress fails to adopt strong guardrails, he has said a federal moratorium on data centers should be put in place.
Americans are deeply frustrated and concerned that the rapid and unceasing development of data centers is driving up their monthly energy bills.
