Right2Compute Coalition
Protecting America’s ability to build, innovate, and lead in the age of AI.
The Problem
America is entering a new era where access to compute infrastructure determines economic power.
Just as electricity powered the Industrial Revolution and the internet powered the Digital Revolution, compute powers the Intelligence Revolution.
Yet across the country, a growing movement is seeking to block data centers, restrict AI infrastructure, and slow the deployment of the computational resources that power modern innovation. Moratoriums, permitting delays, and local bans are increasingly threatening America's ability to compete.
If America cannot build, America cannot lead AI.
The Stakes
Every breakthrough depends on computational infrastructure.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Drug Discovery
- National Security
- Manufacturing
- Robotics
- Climate Modeling
- Education
- Scientific Research
Data centers are not warehouses.
They are the factories of the 21st century.
A shortage of data center capacity can directly slow innovation, concentrate power in a few incumbent firms, and push investment overseas to China.
The Movement
The Right2Compute Coalition is a growing alliance of:
- Technology companies
- AI innovators
- Data center developers
- Energy producers
- Labor organizations
- National security advocates
- Researchers
- Policymakers
- Citizens who believe America should build
We believe access to computational resources is rapidly becoming a fundamental economic liberty and strategic national asset.
Our Principles
Build America
America should be the best place in the world to build AI infrastructure.
Protect Innovation
Lawful use of computational resources should not be restricted without compelling justification.
Secure American Leadership
The nation that builds the most advanced compute infrastructure will shape the future of AI.
Expand Opportunity
Compute should not be limited to a handful of large companies. More infrastructure means more access for startups, researchers, universities, and entrepreneurs.
Build Responsibly
America can simultaneously expand compute capacity, strengthen energy infrastructure, and protect communities.
The Opposition
A growing coalition, goaded by foreign adversaries like China, seeks to:
- Halt new data centers
- Increase permitting barriers
- Restrict energy development
- Delay AI infrastructure projects
- Push compute investment overseas
While concerns regarding power, water, and community impacts deserve attention, blanket restrictions threaten America's competitiveness and technological future.
Why This Matters
Imagine if America had tried to stop:
That is where we stand with
AI infrastructure today.
Data centers are the railroads, power plants, and highways of the intelligence economy.
Policy Agenda
The Right2Compute Coalition supports:
Accelerated Permitting
Faster approval timelines for data centers, transmission, and supporting infrastructure.
Compute Freedom
Protect lawful ownership and use of computational resources.
Energy Expansion
Build the power generation required to support America's AI future.
National Security Infrastructure
Treat advanced compute as critical infrastructure.
Federal and State Right to Compute Laws
Codify the principle that computational resources deserve legal protection comparable to other forms of productive property.
Common Questions
What is the Right to Compute?
The Right to Compute is the right to build the physical infrastructure of intelligence — power generation, the electrical grid, semiconductor fabrication, and data centers — on American ground, owned by Americans. It holds that lawful ownership and use of computational resources should not be restricted without compelling justification.
What is the Right2Compute Coalition?
The Right2Compute Coalition is a growing national alliance of technology companies, AI innovators, data center developers, energy producers, labor organizations, national security advocates, researchers, policymakers, and citizens who believe America should build. It is dedicated to protecting America's ability to build the computational infrastructure that powers modern innovation.
Why does AI infrastructure matter for America?
Just as electricity powered the Industrial Revolution and the internet powered the Digital Revolution, compute powers the Intelligence Revolution. Access to compute infrastructure increasingly determines economic power. A shortage of data center capacity can slow innovation, concentrate power in a few incumbent firms, and push investment overseas to China.
What policies does the Right2Compute Coalition support?
The coalition supports accelerated permitting for data centers, transmission, and supporting infrastructure; compute freedom protecting lawful ownership and use of computational resources; energy expansion to power America's AI future; treating advanced compute as critical national security infrastructure; and federal and state Right to Compute laws.
Who opposes building AI infrastructure?
A growing coalition seeks to halt new data centers, increase permitting barriers, restrict energy development, delay AI infrastructure projects, and push compute investment overseas. While concerns about power, water, and community impacts deserve attention, blanket restrictions threaten America's competitiveness and technological future.
The question is simple:
Will America build the future, or regulate it into China’s hands?

The Ask
The Right2Compute Coalition is building the leading national movement dedicated to protecting America's ability to build the computational infrastructure that will power the next century of innovation.
To launch and scale this effort, we are raising $5 million from founding coalition partner companies, philanthropists, technology leaders, infrastructure investors, and organizations committed to American competitiveness.
These funds will support:
- Coalition building and membership growth
- Federal and state policy advocacy
- Public education and media campaigns
- Research, polling, and economic impact studies
- Grassroots and stakeholder engagement
- Strategic partnerships across technology, energy, labor, academia, and national security communities
Our goal is simple:
Create the broadest and most influential coalition in America dedicated to ensuring that the United States remains the world's leader in AI infrastructure, advanced computing, and technological innovation.
Founding Partner Opportunity
We are seeking a select group of founding supporters to help shape the coalition's mission, policy agenda, and national impact.
The future of AI will be determined by the nations willing to build.
Now is the time to ensure America leads.
