I hate to disappoint you, but data centers are driving up the price of electricity. This is a very well-documented phenomenon.

    Data centers are driving up the price of electricity, but why would they build in a place where electricity was already extremely high?

    My dude, data center owners are actually trying to stand up new nuclear facilities to fulfill their own demand. Doesn't matter if it's in New York or Wyoming: math's clearly not working out.

    (FWIW I'm totally on board with new power infrastructure, but I don't trust these geniuses to build or maintain it)
