If you close, and outlaw, several classes of power generating stations, you are going to restrict electric supply, and drive up price. The Data Center Price Myth
A simple story has taken hold in American politics: Big Tech is consuming vast amounts of electricity to power artificial intelligence, and ordinary households are paying the price.
It's a tidy narrative with a villain, a victim, and a moral. It also happens to be wrong.
But it is becoming clear that wind and solar are not really up to the task of running an industrial society, and that is a problem for the people who are screaming about climate boiling and net zero. And so the Left is now against data centers and technology.
Blaming data centers for rising electricity prices is like blaming FedEx for the cost of gasoline. Demand didn't fail. Supply was boxed in.
