That is not a correct assumption. https://ig.ft.com/ai-power/

Reports in North Virginia and Texas are stating existing data centres are being capped 30% to prevent residential brownouts.

That article appears to be stuck behind a paywall, so I can't speak to it.

That's good for now, but considering the federal push to prevent states from creating AI regulations, and the overall technological oligopoly we have going on, I wonder if, in the near future, their energy requirements might get prioritized. Again, cynical. Possibly making up scenarios. I'm just concerned when more and more centers pop up in communities with less protections.
