The article is shit.

- electricity costs are rising

- there are many data centers

- claims data centers raise costs

- never actually shows how these new data centers are driving up electricity costs

Funny. They imply causation but never show it. If they had evidence that data centers caused this 25% increase, or a large percentage of it, dont you think they would show it?

Actually, you could write the exact same article but sub out data centers with the clean energy rollout.

I love tech, and I swear you Ai evangelists are making me anti-tech.

This is a popular social media take that is being pushed very hard by clickbait and doomposters, so it's not exactly going against the tide.

Social media is always trying to make things sound way worse than they are and journalists are always in a rush to latch onto those trending keywords, and artificially spin headlines vaguely connected to the topic. So if you only skim headlines it's easy to think something is a bigger problem than it is.
