At night, a Virginia neighbourhood begins to hum. The sound comes from the buildings powering a future everyone is being told to embrace.
Hundreds of miles away, electricity bills jump. In Oregon, a city fights to keep its data centres’ water use out of public view. In Memphis, the promise of a cleaner future runs into gas turbines. What connects these places?
Who Pays for the AI Gold Rush? follows the race to build AI’s physical empire. Tech giants need power faster than the grid can supply it. Utilities want billions to expand. Towns are offered investment, but must live with the noise, construction, and demand for water. Behind every new project is the same gamble: the promised AI economy has to become valuable enough to justify what is being built for it.
If the gamble succeeds, who collects the rewards? If it fails, who is left with the bill?
