  1. Data centers should be required to provide their own electricity or pay for the grid upgrades themselves.

    Good! Maybe idiots like Austin Rhodes (local radio host in Columbia county in Georgia) will stop spouting how data centers are good.

  3. If they provide their own power, full pollution controls.

    For grid power, absolutely no impact on any other rates. You want it, you pay all of the costs.

  4. As Augusta/Grovetown houses some of the Military intelligence is planning to build a huge data center It wont help here.

    I saw a commercial in between Law and Order reruns on Peacock streaming. I didn’t catch the sponsor. But it was a lobbying commercial to sway viewers into supporting energy use for AI. The message was „We are leading in chips. We are leading in SW. But China is leading in power generation. Please help us win there also!“

    Like asking the turkeys to help sharpen the axes before Thanksgiving.

  6. This is a misleading article.

    Yes, a Democratic lawmaker submitted a bill. It has no chance of passing.

    Georgia’s Power Service Commission until recently had a fully Republican membership.

    They still have a majority and are completely on board with data centers and have approved building many of them.

    For anyone reading this:

    Columbia County commissioners have conducted deals with Harlan Crow to build the nation’s largest data center that will use as much electricity as NYC.

    This was done without consent or consideration for the community and was just passed unanimously to a booing and shaming crowd. I have personally stood in front of these commissioners twice to condemn this decision. Very few are supportive.

    We need a class action lawsuit.
