The video says (transcribed automatically):
When the president says that he wants America to win in superintelligence against China, we of course mean that. And we think that there can be great benefits for the American economy. But in order for any of these data centers to be built, first of all, they have to get your buy -in in order to do it. And that's one of the things that we have really doubled down on in the Trump administration is local control of these decisions. Now, whether the president thinks it's a good idea to build a particular data center, I'm sure it depends a lot on the circumstances, but his view is local communities should make that decision. circumstances. But his view is local communities should make And by the way, the data centers should be good corporate citizens in the first place. Let me give you an example of what I mean by this, ma 'am. So you have a data center that's being built, I believe, in Louisiana, where the people who are building that data center are going to, first of all, feed electricity back into the grid, and they're also going to give the local school teachers about a $50 ,000 bonus because dollar bonus because the local community like this thing they chose to build it but they also the local community like this thing. demanded that the data center put some money back into their local community and what the president has said is if you're building a data center and you're taking electricity out of the grid do not do that and we actually have a great piece of legislation that might actually get some bipartisan support that would require data centers to feed power back into the grid rather than take it out i think that's one of the most important principles you've got to be a net contributor as a data center I think that's one of the most important principles. You've got to be a net contributor as a data center, not a taker from the electricity grid. There are other issues too, but I think that so long as we follow that principle, that if you're building a data center, you've got to give back in to the grid, not take out of it. And two, local communities determine whether a data center goes in or not. We follow those principles, and I think that we'll get this right. Thank you, man.
