I try to minimize any changes in my electric bills. So I close shades and curtains to block out the sun and keep my thermostat at 77* in the summer. I run the dishwasher in the late evening and do laundry in the mornings.

I'm 86 years old and need the a/c on. Have it set so it is 78 in my apartment. Can't get out in the heat.

I keep the blinds/drapes pulled. Turn up the AC a few notches during the day while at work. Small steps to help the utility bill.

No, because I have always been careful not to waste our natural resources.

Only if they want massive investment that dramatically expands their taxbase and builds modern infrastructure close to the end users to support a growing futuristic economy. Unfortunately, Columbia city council listens to misguided special interests who live in leftist utopia dreamworld.

City leaders would rather tax the citizens. They don't want the city to grow.

Bad for communities, environment, humanity, climate, pretty much everything.

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a small city. Additionally, they can draw as much electricity as 100,000 homes or more, significantly impacting local resources. That is simply unacceptable.
