Around me it’s not so much that the data centers use so much that it raises the price for everyone. It’s that the state government wants their business so bad that it has agreed to raise the prices of utilities (water and electricity) for everyone living around the area to subsidize the operational cost of the datacenters. Our electricity bill is up 30% from 2024 and most of the datacenters are still under construction
