There's no correlation between the US states where electricity prices increased the most (which, nationwide, has averaged to no more than the overall inflation rate, by the way) and data center buildup, though. (I'm not saying that it will never happen or that there were no one-off crunches, but so far it's a typical example of correlation not implying causation.) If anything, historically speaking, heavy industrial activity helps drive electricity prices down due to being a reliable consumer for power companies, allowing them to invest more in the grid. |
Well I don't see any investment being made in a stronger grid, do you?
AI bros are too rich to care about the rest of us, so they're basically stealing drinking water and driving up noise pollution, just so they can fire more people.
Unless data centers are moved into space so they don't hog resources on Earth you won't change my mind.
