Congressional Dems Blame AI Data Centers for High Electric Prices

MDN was among the first to tell readers that so-called environmental groups were quickly morphing from anti-fracking to anti-data center. Over the past several months, we've observed in various posts how opposition to data centers (from the same people who oppose fracking and shale energy) has gone from local and regional anti groups (see More Evidence that PA’s Anti-Frackers are Now Anti-Data Center and Antis in Ohio Join the Chorus Bashing AI Data Centers) to national groups (see 200 Enviro Groups Want Freeze on Building ALL New Data Centers). And now, the usual suspects in Congress have joined the cause, blaming data centers for high electricity costs and calling for the construction of all-new data centers to be blocked.
