Henrico County is a major hub for data centers in Virginia. Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

I guess they’re in the FO part of FAFO. I really hope this kind of stuff wakes people up enough to do something about it.
I least they got all that money and jobs (right? I’m pretty sure Facebook skirted that actually)
Yeah, those data centers definitely must have employed like, three site managers each! So come to think about: hundreds and hundreds of (… okay a little over 100) people employed in all those centers combined. And all it took was to raise electricity prices by 25% for 350k people
They also cut the taxes the corporations pay by 50%, at least they didn’t have to build homes or anything useless.
