Buddy of mine works for a state power company in... don't worry about it.  They are building a server farm for AI which will effectively take the grid in the town it's being built at from 85% capacity to 140% capacity. He said the other issue is water, they expect it to double the amount of water the town needs... which it doesn't has. 

Lots of environmental impact to this AI.  Just like the bit coin "harvesting" BS.    

Increased electricity demand due to AI data centers is driving up electricity costs all over the country.

Increased share of electricity production from expensive forms of electricity production (solar, wind) is also contributing to increased costs of electricity.
