When Data Centers Come for Your Backyard
As data centers sprout across Georgia, the state’s utility providers are building new power lines to meet the demand for electricity. We speak with residents in Fayetteville, about 25 miles south of Atlanta, who say the new lines will run through their backyards and make it impossible to resell their homes at their current value.
