Data Center Expansion Linked to Soaring Residential Electric Bills
A recent surge in utility costs has left residents grappling with significantly higher electric bills, with one individual reporting an increase of over $150. The rise is being linked to the costs associated with new data centers, which are reportedly being passed on to consumers. According to local reports and personal investigations, electric rates are projected to increase by approximately 28% following the passage of a recent spending bill. "My bill shot up 100 extra dollars, and now it's over 150 extra dollars a month," stated a resident, expressing frustration over the unexpected financial burden. The situation highlights growing concerns about the economic impact of infrastructure development on household expenses.
