This bill is dumb and a waste of time. Why do we need to measure data center energy use? It's not like it's going to make a difference in my life. They should focus on more important things instead of studying data availability. This is just a waste of taxpayer money.

I think this bill is a good idea. It will help with energy standards and measurements. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
