US electricity prices skyrocket due to AI, ordinary people are upset to 'pay for' Big Tech

The AI boom has caused record demand for electricity in the US, pushing up household electricity prices by 30% and possibly another 25% in the next few years.

Americans are outraged as their electricity bills skyrocket because of AI data centers.

In 2023 alone, data centers consumed more than 4% of the country's electricity.

This figure is expected to triple to 12% by 2026.

Figures show that average electricity prices have increased by 27-30% in just a few years.

Many states such as Ohio, Texas, Virginia recorded heavy increases in electricity costs.

People are concerned that they are having to "pay on behalf" of giant technology corporations.

Meanwhile, Big Tech continues to build dozens of new data centers.

The fairness issue of “who pays for AI” is becoming a hot issue in the US.
