AI公司可以通过承担相关电力成本和减轻当地环境影响来缓和对全州数据中心暂停建设的支持，例如像纽约州那样的暂停建设，这是来自两党主要公司的最新民调结果。
AI companies can soften support for statewide data center moratoriums like New York’s by committing to pay for related electricity costs and lessen local environmental impacts, according to a new poll from major firms in both parties.
该民调由为特朗普工作的民调师托尼·法布里齐奥（Tony Fabrizio）领导的Fabrizio Ward以及为拜登工作的民调师约翰·安扎洛尼（John Anzalone）领导的Impact Research共同进行，受美国基础设施联盟（American Infrastructure Alliance）委托，该联盟是由AI公司、私募股权公司和劳工工会组成的联盟，倡导“负责任”的数据中心发展。
The research was conducted by Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research — run by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio and Biden pollster John Anzalone, respectively — on behalf of the American Infrastructure Alliance, a coalition of AI companies, private equity firms, and labor unions advocating for “responsible” data center development.
根据首先提供给Semafor的结果，全国受访者中有58%表示反对在其本州建设数据中心。但54%的人表示，如果公司承诺承担电力成本、保护消费者免受更高公用事业账单的影响并保护周边环境资源，他们实际上会支持数据中心建设；仍有31%的人直接反对数据中心建设。
Fifty-eight percent of those polled nationwide said they oppose building data centers in their state, according to results shared first with Semafor. But 54% said they would actually support data center construction if companies pledged to cover electricity costs, protect consumers from higher utility bills, and safeguard surrounding environmental resources; 31% still opposed data center construction outright.
民调还发现，十分之七的选民担心，对AI数据中心实施全面暂停建设可能导致中国对存放美国信息的基础设施拥有更多控制权。与此同时，64%的人表示担心，禁令会导致就业、投资和经济增长流向其他州。
The poll also found that seven in 10 voters worry that outright moratoriums on AI data centers could lead to China having more control over infrastructure that houses US information. Meanwhile, 64% said they’re concerned that bans will lead to jobs, investment, and economic growth going to other states instead.
