We Found the Hidden Cost of Data Centers. It’s in Your Electric Bill – More Perfect Union Aug 28, 2025 Data centers are driving up utility costs. As companies like Amazon and Meta pour billions into data centers across the country, it’s raising electricity bills. While they’re making record profits, the rest of us are forced to foot the bill.
And don’t fall for people like PA Senator Rosemary Brown who tried to say it’s your photoroll that requires these huge data centers when that’s a ridiculous false accusation because all the world’s photorolls and banking data wouldn’t need AI data centers. Because these land grabs didn’t start until all this AI hype hysteria, and the tech tycoons themselves say these monstrosity data centers are all for the LLM chatbot AI.
My letter to reps:
Why should we be paying higher electric bills to subsidize tech company data centers when these aren’t needed for normal internet and aren’t even needed for regular machine learning? They are only needed for tech companies to create chatbots with the goal of creating a god (“AGI”), or at least trying to convince us that we can get orders from God via these LLMs. So heresy putting up our electric bills. Stop this madness.
