Environmental groups have mobilised grassroots campaigns in key US swing districts including Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to support Democratic candidates opposing unregulated data center expansions that drive up energy costs. The campaigns target Republican incumbents who voted to fast-track data center development and grant tax breaks, framing the issue around energy affordability and climate protection ahead of the 2026 election.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.
