A House Democrat praised House passage of a bill that includes a provision she backed on data centers, part of the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2014. Data “must be stored and processed at vast data centers which are highly energy inefficient, wasting money and precious energy resources,” said Communications Subcommittee ranking member Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., in a statement Wednesday. She said the legislation “will save the federal government energy and money by requiring the use of energy-efficient and energy-saving technologies, specifically in federal data centers.”
