Matt Van Epps on Tuesday and could arm the owners of assets that the secretary of Homeland Security determines to be \u201ccritical infrastructure\u201d with anti-drone weapons systems. The proposed legislation follows statements from key investors raising warnings about domestic terrorism targeting AI data centers, while critics point out that data centers may be doing more harm than good. <strong>(RELATED: GOP Rep Wants To Give America\u2019s Power Plants, Data Centers An Anti-Drone Upgrade)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe foundational concern with legislation of this kind begins before any individual provision,\u201d Christabel Randolph, an associate director at the Center for AI and Digital Policy, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cThe bill proposes a structural shift in governance: the privatization of a sovereign enforcement power \u2014 the authority to disable or destroy aircraft operating in national airspace \u2014 and its transfer to corporate actors with profit motives, competitive interests, and minimal public accountability. That shift alone should warrant deep skepticism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Van Epps\u2019 bill is a copy of the version introduced in the Senate by Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton. The bill would allow the private ownership of anti-drone technologies, including directed-energy systems, projectile-based systems (guns) and net-capture systems, among other weapons platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI data centers could potentially qualify as covered critical infrastructure facilities under the bill if the Department of Homeland Security, after consulting with the Department of Energy, designates them as high-risk sites,\u201d Cotton told the DCNF. \u201cThe authority is based on affirmative designation rather than a fixed list of sectors, and large AI data centers\u2019 significant energy consumption and national economic or security importance could support such a designation. \u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMultiple layered safeguards in the bill are designed to prevent abuse, overreach, or misuse by private companies or their contractors,\u201d Cotton added. \u201cActions may only address a \u2018credible threat\u2019 to the facility.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An aerial view of a 33 megawatt data center with closed-loop cooling system on October 20, 2025 in Vernon, California.

So bad that they might be willing to commit an act of terrorism, a felony for which they could be imprisoned for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only 33% of Americans support the rapid development of AI data centers, according to a poll from Reuters and Ipsos with a margin of error of two percentage points that surveyed 4,531 U.S. adults.<\/p>\n<p>Water usage is one of the biggest concerns surrounding AI data centers. A large data center can use up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people, according to the Environmental and Energy Study Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Data centers consumed about 4.4% of total U.S. electricity in 2023 and are expected to consume 6.7% to 12% by 2028, the DOE reported on Dec. 20, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia could see a unconstrained energy demands rise 180% by 2040 as the state rapidly develops new AI data centers, according to the Virginia Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=1675\">Virginia Acts As If Major SCOTUS Second Amendment Decisions Don\u2019t Matter While Defending Semi-Auto Gun Ban<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another concern, though not mentioned as frequently as water or energy usage, is noise pollution.

A system that can identify and interdict a drone without human authorization and accountability represents a serious risk to democratic governance of national security technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current bill is shortsighted and misconceived at a structural level and should not proceed,\u201d Randolph told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
