NEW: Data centers are driving up utility costs. As companies like Amazon and Meta pour billions into data centers across the country, it’s raising electricity bills. While they’re making record profits, the rest of us are forced to foot the bill.

The companies that build these data centers are some of the wealthiest enterprises on the face of the Earth. They are wealthy enough to bring their own power

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up. The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

Data centers are popping up everywhere, especially in small communities. They are banking on smaller communities not being able to push back or get the word out of what is really going on. What are these data centers really setting up for?

Some CEOs think it's time to build data centers on the moon. In a CNBC interview the CEO of one real estate firm says companies are looking to "monetize space" by building manufacturing plants and data centers up on the moon.

As U.S. policymakers highlight the American adversaries that are powering the opposition to data centers, records show that foreign billionaires and nonprofits have funneled tens of millions of dollars to the activist groups fueling data center opposition across the United States, Collin Anderson reports.

Be aware of what your electricity bill is now. Watch what happens if any AI data centers get built in your region. Your rates are going to increase dramatically because consumers are going to be forced to pay for the expansion of the power supply. If AI companies are not forced to fully fund their electricity requirements, the rest of us will pay for it. We are starting to see communities rise up and protest the building permits for AI data centers in their areas.

DAVID SACKS: “President Trump has been really clear that consumers should not have to pay higher rates for electricity because of data centers … He said let the AI companies become power companies. Let them stand up their own power generation … with these new data centers.”

John: There is a lot of opposition to building in America, broadly. That's just the nature of our society. I was thinking about, what do Americans want to build? Because it's easy to look at the data center stuff and be like, "Well, everyone's against building data centers." I was reflecting on the whole reindustrialization meme this weekend. And I was thinking about the actual knock-on effects of reindustrialization — most people don't want a car factory in their town. I actually think people don't really want change. They don't want things built. Data centers are probably at the bottom of the list. They're the least popular. But people don't want stuff built, generally. There are very few things that people are like, "Yeah, I'd be down for that to be built." People like the status quo. They're happy with things as they are. And they don't like change. People block home construction all the time. Also, permitting and expansion of existing homes. I'm not saying that they're as unpopular as data centers. Data centers are at the bottom. But new housing in communities is like razor's edge. I do think there's an element of like, Americans don't want to build anything.

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70% Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned. Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE) Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers. An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand. There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same Ban secret sweetheart deals Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers This needs to be done immediately

Here’s the thing about the data centers that not enough people are talking about: They are being built on top of farmland. THEY ARE REPLACING OUR FOOD SUPPLY WITH MASS SURVEILLANCE CENTERS. Humans cannot survive without food or water. Two things data centers are taking away. So why are they doing this? Because the billionaire class knows AI is going to replace millions of human jobs so they are deliberately reducing our food supply. Their plan is to let millions of us die to usher in their AI techno-capitalist dystopia. That is why the fight against these data centers is an existential fight for humanity’s survival.

The AI data centers are being strategically placed next to every fresh body of water across the entire country. If you look into who owns these AI data centers it is the same people who own these media, control Hollywood, and control our government. This is all being done by design. These AI data centers are going to poison 95% of the freshwater in America.

AOC: And what are they asking for now? Endless energy. These companies are so desperate to profit from the AI boom that they are racing to construct thousands of giant AI data centers, jacking up utility costs for everyday Americans to pay for them. These data centers power thousands of high-intensity computer chips that are processing constantly and require massive amounts of energy to operate. Just one hyperscale data center consumes the same amount of energy in one second as 100,000 households. Because of this massive energy use, power and water utility companies must build multibillion-dollar infrastructure to keep up with the demand.

Are Data Centers Worth the Noise to Local Communities? "Multiple cities of people have filed lawsuits and complaints against these data centers because of the noise." "The first question I ask myself is, are we gonna need data centers in America? Yes, if we wanna compete in the modern world, in the modern economy, we are going to need them. They are good for society and good for the economy."

I’m not saying they are building all these data centers to roll out the social credit scores. I’m just saying I don’t think we need all of these data centers to run ChatGPT, Grok, Claude etc. But if you did want social credit scores, you would need a lot of data centers🤔

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Data centers and AI are dramatically increasing the demand for electricity. It's only fair that the cost of building the new infrastructure required to meet this demand be borne by the corporations — not by American consumers. Under the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, America's largest tech companies have formally committed fund or build all energy infrastructure they are placing on the grid.
