路易斯安那州加快了对数据中心的发电厂审批,将审查时间缩短到8个月,以便在能源使用和成本问题日益引起关注的情况下吸引大型AI项目。 Louisiana sped up power plant approvals for data centers, cutting review time to eight months, to attract major AI projects amid growing concerns over energy use and costs.

路易斯安那州对数据中心等大型工业用户有快速通道的发电厂批准,根据允许与公用事业分担费用的新规则,将审查时间从几年缩短到8个月。 Louisiana has fast-tracked power plant approvals for large industrial users like data centers, cutting review time from years to as little as eight months under a new rule allowing cost-sharing with utilities. 此举得到路易斯安那州公共服务委员会的支持,旨在吸引梅塔计划中的AI数据中心等大型项目,尽管批评者警告说这可能会提高普通消费者的电费。 The move, backed by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, aims to attract major projects such as Meta’s planned AI data center, though critics warn it could raise electricity costs for average consumers. 同时,联邦监管机构批准了数据中心和发电厂之间的直接联系,在对能源短缺和环境紧张的关切下加快了AI基础设施的发展。 Simultaneously, federal regulators approved direct connections between data centers and power plants, accelerating AI infrastructure development amid concerns over energy shortages and environmental strain. 由于数据中心使用大量能源和水, 超过230个团体呼吁暂停使用, 预计将到2028年耗用12%的美国电力。 Public pushback is growing nationwide, with over 230 groups calling for moratoriums due to data centers’ massive energy and water use, projected to consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028.
