I think its more that their power bills are going to go up 3x.
Yep. The situation of data centers being planned and constructed everywhere at the same time is entirely different from even 5 years ago. Things will get expensive. They‘re buying the hardware, resources and space that we all need and will sell them to us at an up price.
And water bills too.
Well, if it is a bubble (at least the centralization part, not the "AI" part), then they are building locations with plenty of energy and water connected. Can help with re-industrialization a bit later.
