Not to mention the cost of electricity in VA continues to rise because these data centers keep sucking up all the electricity on our grid. Wait’ll wintertime and your electric bill is gonna be more than tripled.
Thankfully I have gas heat and so far the weather has been pretty cool for the current time of year so my AC hasn’t had to run at all. I hope we have a mild summer. I’ve seen some of the insane electric bills around here lately and how much of them is actual usage vs all the fees. Usage doesn’t count for much these days.
