“@grok…is it true our electricity bill is going up because AI data centers are drawing more and more power from the grid paying much less per kw than us ordinary folk?”
Well, everyone is using energy star appliances, LED lights, and other “efficient” things nowadays, so they have to have some excuse for why the price of electricity never drops.
Yes, and WHERE is the electricity going to come from to power these new data centers?
I know they are starting up Three Mile Island nuke plant in PA again to run a data center.
What drives me crazy is when they take farm land and cover it with solar panels.
Why not put solar panels on top of all these huge warehouse spaces we have around the country. You would think IF they gave some type of solar tax credit to Amazon, Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Kroger, etc that they would be glad to put solar panels on their roofs.
