*Data centers continue to pop-up all over Georgia. A nonprofit, Science for Georgia, estimates there are around 100 in Georgia, but the exact number is uncertain due to the lack of a public database maintained by the state government. Dr. Amy Sharma warns about Senate Bill 410, which aims to restrict tax exemptions for data centers and protect consumers from rising energy costs. Yet, Dr. Sharma tells NPR that she believes it does not adequately protect consumers from data center costs. Which could result in higher bills for residents. The bill is currently in the House for further consideration.
