Experts worry US doesn't have enough energy to sustain tech boom

Between artificial intelligence and cloud computing, technology in the U.S. is advancing at historic rates, but experts are worried the country may not have enough energy to sustain the growth.

If development continues at its current rate, there's every reason to believe it will be Americans paying the price. Let's connect the dots.

Sustaining all of these amazing advancements takes a lot of power and a historic amount of electricity. But now many companies are realizing those needs don't necessarily match the government's clean energy goals.

One of the biggest drivers of these massive power draws is data centers. These are facilities that essentially account for every single thing that happens online and can often require a city's worth of electricity to run.

Now, these are issues that are affecting us here at home, and our bottom line. Big companies like Apple, Google and Meta all operate major data centers in North Carolina. As the demand for electricity increases, providers like Duke Energy are looking to increase the amount people pay for power so they can fund the growth needed to keep up. #Tech #Energy #News
