美国参议院立法草案威胁要袭击服务中心的数据中心，该中心为有费用的区块链网络和人工智能模型

法案草案据称旨在解决能源需求不断上升的环境影响，并保护家庭免受更高的能源费用

A draft bill in the US Senate threatens to hit data centers serving blockchain networks and artificial intelligence models with fees if they exceed federal emissions targets, Bloomberg reported on April 11.

彭博社于4月11日报道说，美国参议院的一项法案可能会袭击为区块链网络和人工智能模型服务的数据中心，如果它们超过联邦排放目标，则有费用。

The draft legislation, which is still in the works and could change, was written by Senate Democrats Sheldon Whitehouse and John Fetterman. It is purportedly aimed at addressing environmental impacts from rising energy demand and at protecting households from higher energy bills, Bloomberg said.

参议院民主党人谢尔顿·怀特豪斯（Sheldon Whitehouse）和约翰·费特曼（John Fetterman）撰写的立法草案仍在进行中并且可以改变。彭博社说，据称，它旨在解决能源需求不断上升的环境影响，并保护家庭免受上等能源费用的影响。

The bill, called the Clean Cloud Act, mandates that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set an emissions performance standard for data centers and crypto mining facilities with over 100 KW of installed IT nameplate power. The standard would be based on regional grid emissions intensities, with an 11% annual reduction target.

该法案称为《清洁云法》，要求环境保护局（EPA）为数据中心和加密挖掘设施设定了排放性能标准，并安装了超过100 kW的IT铭牌功率。该标准将基于区域网格排放强度，年减少目标为11％。

The legislation also includes penalties for emissions exceeding the set standard, starting at $20 per ton of CO2e, with the penalty increasing annually by inflation plus an additional $10.

该立法还包括对超过设定标准的排放量的处罚，起价为每吨二氧化碳，每年以通货膨胀率增加罚款，再加上10美元。

“Surging power demand from cryptominers and data centers is outpacing the growth of carbon-free electricity,” notes a minority blog post on the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works website, adding that data centers’ electricity usage is projected to account for up to 12% of the US total power demand by 2028.

美国参议院环境和公共工程委员会网站上的一篇少数群体博客文章指出：“加密者和数据中心的电力需求超过了无碳电力的增长，并补充说，数据中心的电力用途预计将占美国总电力需求的12％。

According to research from Morgan Stanley, the rapid growth of data centers is projected to generate approximately 2.5 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions globally by the end of the decade.

根据摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）的研究，数据中心的快速增长预计将在十年末全球产生约25亿吨的二氧化碳排放。

For Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s head of research, the proposed legislation effectively seeks to single out Bitcoin BTCUSD miners and similar operations for energy consumption in a “Losing ‘Blame the Server Racks’ Strategy,” he said in an April 11 X post. Mentioned in this article

对于Vaneck的研究主管Matthew Sigel来说，该拟议的立法有效地试图将比特币BTCUSD矿工和类似的运营挑选出来，以在“失去'责备服务器机架'策略'的'责任'''中。在本文中提到

Bitcoin miners are pivoting toward HPC power for AI models, according to VanEck.

根据Vaneck的说法，比特币矿工正在朝着HPC功率旋转AI模型。

The draft law, which still needs to pass in the Senate, comes as Bitcoin miners — including Galaxy, CoreScientific and Terawulf — are increasingly pivoting toward supplying high-performance computing (HPC) power for AI models, VanEck said.

Vaneck说，仍然需要通过参议院的法律草案是因为比特币矿工（包括Galaxy，Corescientific和Terawulf）越来越多地旋转着为AI型号提供高性能计算（HPC）功率。

Bitcoin miners have struggled in 2025 as declining cryptocurrency prices are putting pressure on business models already impacted by the Bitcoin network’s most recent halving.

比特币矿工在2025年一直在挣扎，因为加密货币价格的下降正对已经受到比特币网络最近减半影响的商业模式施加压力。

Miners are “diversifying into AI data-center hosting as a way to expand revenue and repurpose existing infrastructure for high-performance computing,” said research firm Coin Metrics.

研究公司Coin Metrics说，矿工正在“将数据中心托管多样化，以扩大收入并重新利用现有的基础设施以进行高性能计算。”

According to Coin Metrics, miners’ incomes began to stabilize in the first quarter of 2025. However, the recovery could be cut short if ongoing trade wars disrupt miners’ business models, several cryptocurrency executives told Cointelegraph.

根据硬币指标的数据，矿工的收入在2025年第一季度开始稳定。但是，几位加密货币高管告诉Cointelegraph，如果正在进行的贸易战破坏了矿工的商业模式，则可能会缩短复苏。

“Aggressive tariffs and retaliatory trade policies could create obstacles for node operators, validators, and other core participants in blockchain networks to continue their operations effectively,” said Nicholas Roberts-Huntley, CEO of Concrete & Glow Finance.

Con Creste＆Glow Finance首席执行官Nicholas Roberts-Huntley说：“积极的关税和报复性贸易政策可能会为节点运营商，验证者和区块链网络中的其他核心参与者造成障碍，以有效地继续其运营。”

“In moments of global uncertainty, the infrastructure supporting crypto, not just the assets themselves, can become collateral damage.”

“在全球不确定性的时刻，支持加密货币的基础设施，不仅是资产本身，都会成为附带损害。”
