It\u2019s hard to make a story about data centers interesting. I know this because that was the goal I gave myself recently: Report a data center story that wasn\u2019t totally soporific. And honestly, it was a challenge. Whether I succeeded remains to be seen\u2014breaking news, I did!\u2014but what I learned during my reporting has been the subject of every dinner party discussion I\u2019ve had for months.\u00a0<\/p>

You\u2019ve probably heard that data centers are sprouting all over America like weeds in an empty field. You may also have heard that they are huge water hogs, sucking up more H2<\/sub>O than the Kardashians of Kalabasas\u2122\ufe0f. What you might not know is that their electricity guzzling has caused energy bills to spike through the ceiling all around the country. And their need for vast swaths of land has resulted in the bulldozing of natural habitats from Oregon to Florida. Basically, if you want to be dramatic about it\u2014and I do\u2014data center proliferation is a harbinger of humanity\u2019s demise at the hands of our AI overlords.<\/p>\n
