AI data centers are making your electricity supply worse and could damage your home, new study says
Katie Balevic, Lloyd Lee
December 29, 2024"A Bloomberg analysis assessed readings from some 770,000 homes from February to October and found that over 75% of 'highly distorted power readings across the country are within 50 miles of significant #DataCenter activity.'
"Stresses on the power grid can lead to inconsistent power quality, and as the power quality decreases, the risk increases, Bloomberg reported. Inconsistent energy flow can cause #electronics to overheat, leading to sparks or even #HouseFires.
"A small handful of large tech companies own the vast majority of global data centers — and they show no signs of slowing down as they pour billions into building more powerful AI models.
"#Amazon, #Google, and #Microsoft own about 65% of the cloud infrastructure market, which includes data centers, according to a 2023 report from market research firm Synergy Research Group.
"Google announced in April that it's investing $3 billion to build and expand data centers in #Virginia and #Indiana. The search engine giant unveiled its latest AI model, #Gemini 2.0, in December.
"#Amazon, which is a large investor in AI startup #Anthropic, is investing another $10 billion in Ohio data centers, Gov. Mike DeWine announced on December 16.
"Microsoft, which has invested $13 billion in ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, said in September that the company has partnered with other investors, including #BlackRock, in a $100 billion energy infrastructure project. The project will include 'new and expanded data centers,' the company said.
"To meet AI's increasing energy demands, companies like Google have also started turning to #NuclearPower to find more reliable and sustainable energy sources."
