When it comes to powering America’s future, President Trump is laying down the law—and it’s about time. For too long, Big Tech has had a free ride. These tech giants act like they own the world, building flashy AI empires and sucking up enough electricity to light up entire cities. Who’s been footing the bill? Every day, Americans are squeezed by higher utility rates and an out-of-control energy market warped by Silicon Valley’s endless greed.
Now Peter Navarro is signaling something new—Trump means business. The White House is ready to force Big Tech to pay every cent of the massive energy costs their data centers chew through. That’s right, no more handouts for corporate elites with global ambitions. If Mark Zuckerberg and his friends want to run the future, it’s time they pay their own way. Americans are tired of subsidizing the lavish lifestyles of tech CEOs who hate their values and censor their voices.
Trump Administration Creating Plan for Tech Companies to Pay Full Costs of AI Data Center Power, Water Usage https://t.co/3GlMHBzTsE

Liberals love to whine about “equity” and “paying your fair share,” but when it comes to their pals at Google and Microsoft, their silence is deafening. These companies skate by on sweetheart deals and green-energy virtue signaling. Who picks up the tab? Working people in the heartland. Meanwhile, the left is busy crying about imaginary Russian bots while ignoring the real problem: out-of-control Big Tech draining America’s power grid in service of woke algorithms and globalist dreams.
Trump’s move rattles the elites, as it should. Finally, someone is willing to say enough is enough. The American worker has been ignored while tech titans throw money at anti-American causes and shady overseas deals. They want all the benefits of living in America but none of the responsibilities.
If Big Tech wants to run the AI of tomorrow, let them pay for the electricity it takes today. Trump is backing Main Street, not Wall Street. Maybe the Silicon Valley crowd should remember who built this country. Or do they still think the rules don’t apply to them?
