@GregAbbott_TX calls on @PUCTX and @ERCOT_ISO to Protect Texas Rate-Payers I appreciate Governor Abbott’s leadership in protecting Texas ratepayers and ensuring that Hyper-scale Data Center projects bear the costs they create; not Texas families, farmers, and businesses. As these projects are proposed across Texas, we must PROTECT our water resources, rural communities, and state parks while bringing greater transparency and accountability to the process. I look forward to sharing my legislative priorities soon. #txlege #hd58 #protecttexaswater #ProtectOurParks #ratepayerprotection

Pennsylvanians are getting squeezed from every direction on energy costs, and the people in Harrisburg still want to treat this like a talking-point battle. Governor Shapiro’s energy agenda is not lowering costs for working families, seniors, small businesses, or local communities. His so-called Lightning Plan still leans into government-managed energy schemes while families are already seeing higher electric bills, higher utility costs, and more pressure from a grid that is being stretched by massive new demand. Now we are being told his data center standards will protect Pennsylvanians. But let’s be honest: requiring some standards from companies that want state support is not the same thing as protecting every ratepayer in Pennsylvania. Data centers should not be allowed to come into this state, use enormous amounts of power and water, strain local infrastructure, and then leave Pennsylvania families paying the bill. They should be required to prove their energy source, cover their grid impact, protect local water supplies, hire local workers, and enter real community benefit agreements before projects move forward. And the Republican answer cannot just be “Shapiro bad.” Stacy Garrity and the PA GOP are right to criticize rising costs, but political talking points are not a reform plan. Pennsylvanians need more than press releases, hashtags, and party attacks. I already have an energy and ratepayer protection reform package ready to go. It includes enforceable utility rate protections, data center accountability, public energy-use transparency, shutoff protections for seniors and working families, stronger oversight of utility rate cases, local worker requirements, and a Pennsylvania-first energy fairness model that asks a simple question: Why are Pennsylvanians paying more when Pennsylvania helps power everyone else? We do not need more excuses from Harrisburg. We need leadership that is willing to protect the people who actually pay the bills. James Moore for Governor Unbought.

This is the right conversation, but Pennsylvania families need more than promises tied to state support. If a data center comes into Pennsylvania, it should not raise electric bills for working families, seniors, small businesses, or local communities. Period. That means enforceable ratepayer protection, public transparency on energy and water usage, proof of new power generation, local job requirements, and real community agreements before projects move forward.... not after residents are already worried about their bills, roads, water, and quality of life. Pennsylvania produces the energy. Pennsylvanians should not be the ones paying more while massive corporations get special treatment. James Moore for Governor Unbought.

Senator Ward is right that Pennsylvania should not be carrying the energy burden for surrounding states while our own families pay more. But that raises the bigger question: what is Pennsylvania government actually doing to protect Pennsylvanians? The PUC just approved another PPL rate increase, and electric generation prices changed again on June 1 across regulated utilities, with some customers seeing major increases depending on where they live. Families, seniors, small businesses, schools, farms, and local governments are all being told to absorb higher bills while Harrisburg keeps talking about how much energy Pennsylvania produces. That is not good enough. If Pennsylvania is powering the region, then Pennsylvania families should benefit first. We should not be exporting energy strength while importing higher bills. This is why I have put forward my Pennsylvania Energy First plan. It focuses on ratepayer protection, reliable in-state generation, PJM accountability, utility transparency, data center reform, large-load cost separation, and making sure massive energy users pay their own grid costs instead of shifting them onto residential customers. It is not enough to say neighboring states should pay more. Pennsylvania leaders also need to explain why our own people are not paying less. This is why I’m running as an independent candidate for Governor. Pennsylvania needs an energy plan that lowers bills, creates jobs, strengthens the grid, protects ratepayers, and puts Pennsylvanians first. James Moore for Governor Unbought. Unafraid. mooreforpa.com #MooreForPA #PAFirst #EnergyIndependence #RatepayerProtection #FixPennsylvania

This is exactly why Pennsylvania needs a real ratepayer-first energy policy. PPL customers are already being told to absorb another distribution rate increase, while families, seniors, small businesses, schools, farms, and local governments are trying to survive higher costs everywhere else. It does not matter how utility companies or regulators package it. If the bill goes up, working Pennsylvanians feel it. The PPL settlement reportedly raises residential bills by about 4.9%, or roughly $7.42 per month for a typical customer. That may sound small to Harrisburg, but families are already dealing with higher groceries, insurance, housing, taxes, gas, and other utility costs. These increases stack up. One part of this settlement does matter: the new large-load customer rate class for data centers and other massive power users. That is exactly the kind of concept Pennsylvania needs to strengthen. If data centers, AI facilities, crypto operations, or massive industrial users require grid upgrades, backup capacity, new infrastructure, or special service arrangements, those costs should not be dumped onto residential customers. This is why I’m running as an independent candidate for Governor. Pennsylvania is one of the top energy-producing states in America and the top electricity-exporting state, yet our own families are still paying more. That is backwards. My Pennsylvania Energy First plan would protect ratepayers, force massive energy users to pay their own grid costs, hold PJM and utilities accountable, increase transparency on rate hikes, and make sure Pennsylvania families benefit from Pennsylvania energy. If Pennsylvania powers the grid, Pennsylvania families should not be treated like an afterthought. #MooreForPA #PAFirst #RatepayerProtection #EnergyIndependence #FixPennsylvania

Worried AI data centers will raise your electric bills? Trump makes AI companies pay for their own power infrastructure, ensuring ratepayers aren't stuck with the bill. Protecting you from price hikes while fostering progress. #AIDataCenters #PowerGrid #RatePayerProtection

Donald Trump has obtained a commitment from America’s top tech companies, including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI, to ensure that new data centers will not raise electricity prices for residential consumers. Under the “Ratepayer Protection Pledge,” these companies agreed to cover all costs of new power generation for their centers, protecting households from rate hikes and even potentially lowering bills by selling excess power back to the grid. This approach contrasts with proposals to ban new data centers, which could halt job growth and construction in key sectors. Trump has long advocated letting AI companies become power providers, and this pledge marks a major step toward that vision while keeping energy affordable for Americans.

🚨 BREAKING - March 4, 2026 Big Tech just signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge at the White House with President Trump. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Oracle & OpenAI committed to build, buy, or bring their own power for new AI data centers. Goal: Stop AI’s massive energy demand from raising electricity bills for American families. No more passing the cost to ratepayers. ⚡🤖 #AIEnergy #RatepayerProtection #Tech
