I am reaching out to offer my experience in the Maine State Legislature. I dealt with this issue in the 2000s, by introducing a bill asking for warning labels on cell phones, especially for children, due to radiation from it entering our brains. The bill past in both houses, but "leadership" brought in lobbyists to finally change enough votes to kill it: I was a Maine State Legislator and did a great amount of work, with wonderful expert supporters. Data Centers send out big radiation today. Ed Friedman, still working that issue, enlightened me on that; it's not just water and electric power. But who is being allowed to know?
