Power Hungry — The Electricity Crisis Nobody In Washington Wants To Talk About

from Echoes From The Edge · host echoesfromtheedge

A single AI data center consumes as much electricity as 100,000 homes. Some proposed campuses would consume more power than entire cities. In Episode 2 Kiler Davenport pulls apart the numbers behind America's coming electricity crisis — who is building the new power plants, who is paying for them, why your residential bill has climbed nearly 30% since 2021, and what the sealed contracts between Big Tech and your utility company are hiding from you.

Your electric bill went up 27% while data centers got industrial discounts — and the contracts that explain why are sealed from public view. Episode 2 of the Data Center Truth Series goes straight at the power crisis your utility company hopes you never understand.
