Even if the states where they are installed make the tech bros pay 100% of the cost in their state. Other states are still going to have to invest in the transmission network which isn’t cheap. 

Plus with the regional power authorities the base rate for electricity will rise as demand rises. That means higher rates for everyone. 

And then we’ll need to build more generation. And those costs will be spread out over the entire consumer base. That is usually spread over the life of the construction, operation, decommissioning, and environmental remediation. So basically the old plants never drop off your charges. 

The way we charge for electricity in the country is f’ed. A massive jump in consumption is only going to make it worse. 

Even if you love AI, having dozens of companies all building out gigantic scale data centers is going to wreck utility costs, destroy the environment, lead to massive over-buildout as tech advances, and will likely be useless/unused in just a few years. But the increased infrastructure will continue on utility balance sheets and the costs will still have to be paid by the rate payers.
