Trump claims tech companies will sign deals next week to pay for their own power supply

President Trump announced plans for major tech companies to sign a 'rate payer protection pledge' that would require them to build or pay for new electricity generation for their data centers, aiming to reduce concerns about rising electricity costs. Leaders from Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Oracle, and OpenAI are expected to attend a signing event on March 4th, though details about the pledge's requirements and enforcement mechanisms remain unclear.
