“A 2026 power-engineering study found that hyperscale data centers behave not merely as electrical loads, but as vast power-electronics systems whose rapidly fluctuating server demands can excite grid oscillations and propagate disturbances across interconnected networks. Far from a fringe “dirty electricity” claim, the research suggests data centers may interact with the power grid in ways fundamentally different from traditional industrial facilities, raising serious new concerns about resonance, stability, reliability.”
Wasn’t the propaganda just 2 years ago “power grid can’t handle all the electric cars!” Meanwhile they’re building data centers that can power a whole city, example Utah.
as a person who moved from ‘data center alley’ in Northern Virginia, I can say that the Georgia Power lady was lying through her teeth. It’s irrevocable change that will only create precendent for more irrevecable change. beware, be aware
Ignore everything the power company said. This does not benefit citizens. It will mean more expensive power due to data center demand.
Already proven in Maryland – DARNESTOWN NET has articles, sources
Vote in people against it. That’s the only way to stop it.
Data centers do not generate a lot of employment after built. Electricity and water get expensive.
80% of the additional power is slated to power datacenters.
24 miles of power lines in 2019 ballooned to 1,065 miles in 2026 (State of Georgia).
Electrical power line radiation is “associated with increased childhood leukemia risk”.
Best-supported phrasing is “associated with increased childhood leukemia risk,” not proven causal.

“Major reviews by IARC/WHO and NIEHS classify power-frequency magnetic fields as a possible carcinogen, based primarily on consistent epidemiological associations with childhood leukemia at higher residential exposure levels.”
