    The renewable energy industry is turning its attention to state-level races in the run-up to November’s midterm elections.

    President Donald Trump is expanding his data center pledge to include some Republican governors and several large utilities, according to state officials and industry executives. Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon and Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe have all signed the White House’s so-called Ratepayer Protection Pledge, a set of principles committing data center developers to pay for their fair share of energy and water use, along with electric grid improvements and maintenance, acc
