Data centers and artificial intelligence are significantly increasing electricity consumption in Virginia. According to projections, by 2025, data centers will account for approximately 40% of the state"s electricity usage, up from less than 5% in 2010.

This dramatic rise highlights the growing demand for energy as technology continues to advance. The shift in electricity consumption patterns raises concerns about sustainability and the environmental impact of such high energy usage.

For further context on related issues, recent developments in politics may provide additional insights into the broader implications of energy consumption trends.
