Some of those areas are going to get killed in energy prices over this. Wont hurt the Tech Companies but the residents...

So this is my area of practice, and obviously I'm coming from the legal side but I know enough of the business side to be dangerous.

If the build out is done correctly, residential customers shouldn't be hurt. They could even benefit since the data centers will cover proportionally more of the fixed costs as heavy users.

Since I know Iowa the best, part of the reason for the growth is the huge amount of wind energy already being generated thanks to the Berkshire affiliate who has acted more like a tax credit farm than a regulated utility for the last 25 years. I'm not a huge fan of some of their tactics, but they should be able to absorb a lot of data center growth provided they can get more generation in the pipeline (which the current federal government is not exactly helping with).

Yeah my mom is near Ashburn, it doesn't affect her prices and if anything it ensures the grid is strong. She likes the tax money the town gets for real estate that results in much fewer people than another 50 developments. I mean there are probably downsides in the long run but who knows.

The thing around here is energy prices and water usage. Of course these are the same people that complained about solar power farms so...
