Despite sustainability pledges from major tech companies, energy and cooling needs&nbsp;from AI-data centers&nbsp;continue&nbsp;an unchecked&nbsp;rise, and state incentives have often encouraged development without requiring adequate transparency&nbsp;and environmental protections. With no uniform federal framework and significant impacts&nbsp;emerging, lawmakers in many states are beginning to propose policies that strengthen disclosure, assess cumulative impacts, and&nbsp;establish&nbsp;efficiency and public engagement requirements.
