Electricity costs are up 267% near data centers.
Data centers in Virginia use 40% of state electricity.
By 2028, they’ll consume 12% of all U.S. power.

Big Tech gets tax breaks. You get the bill.
All so they can automate surveillance at scale.

US electricity prices are at a record high.

After your electricity bills doubled in the past year, it’s about to double again. Because someone has to pay for AI.

In the next 10 years, AI power demand will QUADRUPLE. AI data centers will use 1,600 terawatt-hours of power by… pic.twitter.com/6qgb0zdF0i

AI’s explosive growth is hitting a wall: the U.S. electric grid.

• Data centers could eat 9% of power by 2030
• Transmission upgrades: 5–10 yrs
• Transformer backlogs: 2+ yrs
• Prices near hubs up 267% since 2020
• China soaks demand; U.S. stalls

A generational crisis is brewing.

The AI boom is consuming power faster than the grid can keep up.

By 2028, U.S. data centers could use 6.7%–12% of America’s electricity enough to power 24 million homes.

We taught machines to think, but forgot how to keep the lights on

Proof that AI is draining the national electric grid

In 2023, U.S. data centers used approximately 176 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, which was about 4.4% of the nation's total electricity consumption.
This is expected to grow significantly, with projections suggesting consumption could reach between 325 and 580 TWh by 2028, accounting for up to 12% of total U.S. electricity use.

2023 Consumption: Approximately 176 TWh, or 4.4% of the total U.S. electricity supply.

2028 Projection: An estimated 325–580 TWh, which could represent up to 12% of the nation's total electricity consumption.

Growth Drivers: The rapid growth in data centers, especially those used for artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, is driving this increased demand.

Impact: This surge in demand is expected to increase electricity bills for consumers, with some studies projecting an 8% nationwide average increase by 2030. Source: Google

We need more electricity:

AI data centers are set to consume 1,600 terawatt-hours of power demand by 2035, equal to 4.4% of global electricity.

In other words, power demand from AI data centers is set to QUADRUPLE over the next 10 years.
