An artificial intelligence data center that would use more electricity than every home in Wyoming combined before expanding to as much as five times that size will be built soon near Cheyenne, according to the city’s mayor.
...
this proposed data center is so big, it would have its own dedicated energy from gas generation and renewable sources...
I wonder how these data centers affect residential electricity prices. As mentioned in a previous post, why is Tennessee in the top 10 states with electricity rate increases?
With the increase in energy costs, residential insurance, and food, will any middle income citizen this new society?
