Consumer Reports — AI Data Centers
A clear consumer-side explainer on how data centers hit your electric bill and local water.
Consumer Reports breaks down, in plain language, what the AI data-center boom means for the household: why electricity bills climb in regions dense with facilities, how much water the cooling actually draws, and how zoning changes wave projects through.
Start here if you want to understand the pocketbook and resource stakes cold before you argue about them — it is the clearest primer written from the ratepayer's side of the table.
