Solomon opposes data center restrictions... US Senate procedural vote 73-25

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon warned that restricting U.S. data-center construction could push AI compute capacity overseas, saying at the bank's 25th Alternative Investments Summit that he does not want that infrastructure to leave the country. He argued data centers must be built "the right way, in the right places, with the right safeguards," pairing the case for construction with attention to siting and protections. The remarks came as the U.S. Senate advanced related procedural business by a 73-25 vote, signaling bipartisan appetite to move on the issue. The debate matters because data-center siting and permitting now directly gate the buildout of AI compute capacity that underpins the U.S. technology and utility investment cycle. Watch next for how siting and permitting rules take shape, and whether power availability and local opposition delay projects enough to shift new capacity abroad.
