Protecting consumer utility rates from data center pressure

from South Carolina Business Review · host Mike Switzer

Citizens are pushing back against data centers, fearing that their power and water needs will cause utility bills to increase.  Congress is trying to address this issue with a bill that has cleared a House subcommittee, known as the Ratepayer Protection Act, but it also faces headwinds.  What does all this mean for our state?  Mike Switzer interviews Weston Adams, an attorney with the Nelson Mullins law firm in Columbia, SC.
