According to CNBC, Senate Republicans failed on Thursday to quickly advance a bipartisan bill aimed at preventing data center-related utility cost increases after Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., blocked the measure over Democratic concerns that it relied on voluntary commitments from states and developers. The proposal, called the Ratepayer Protection Act, had been pushed for a fast vote by Sen. John Husted, R-Ohio, but Heinrich said it did not go far enough and argued Congress needed stronger legislation. The House passed the bill Wednesday night by a 417-3 vote. The measure would let states adopt a framework requiring AI data centers with demand of 100 megawatts or more to cover costs for new power sources, transmission lines and other infrastructure rather than passing those expenses to consumers. Husted said America is expected to build the equivalent of 1,000 major data centers over the next five years and that more than 2,000 projects are being proposed or tracked. Heinrich instead backed his own GRID Savings Act of 2026, which would give the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rulemaking authority over facilities using 150 megawatts or more and require them to pay costs tied to higher grid demand.

Global government borrowing costs are continuing to rise, and investors are demanding higher yields on longer-dated bonds. According to Sina Finance, the increase in U.S. Treasury yields even prompted Treasury Secretary Bessent to announce a larger buyback program for long-term Treasuries, but the move failed to stop the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield from breaking above 5%, its highest level in nearly 20 years. Investors have been pulling out of long-term sovereign debt for several reasons, including concerns over widening fiscal deficits, as well as inflation staying elevated because of trade wars and conflict in the Middle East. At the same time, heavy debt issuance by technology companies to build artificial intelligence infrastructure has also diverted funds away from Treasuries. Although the Federal Reserve's September rate hike eased concerns about the central bank's commitment to fighting inflation, the structural forces behind the bond selloff have not disappeared. Yields remain elevated, and average bond yields among Group of Seven members are now at their highest since 2000.
