From Inside Climate News:
As Illinois’ Governor Recruits Data Centers, Chicagoans’ Electricity Bills Are Getting More Expensive – Inside Climate News
Gov. JB Pritzker said data centers are a huge piece of Illinois’ economic future, and the governor is not alone. There’s competition among states to lure and build massive data centers as the U.S. races to beat China and be the world’s AI leader. There’s also a huge potential cost as these operations suck large amounts of power, and ComEd customers may feel the pinch.
This is a great concern to me.
Big users of electricity cut deals directly with ComEd.
Where will that leave ordinary homeowners and businesses?
