According to the Gate.io News bot, Bloomberg reported that Senate Democrats have introduced the “Clean Cloud Act” draft. This draft establishes a charging mechanism for data centers that support blockchain networks and artificial intelligence models exceeding federal emission targets.

According to the bill, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must establish emission standards for data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities with an IT nameplate power exceeding 100 KW, with an annual reduction target of 11%. For emissions that exceed the limit, a fee of $20 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent will be charged, and this fee standard will be adjusted annually by $10 for inflation.
