Show Notes
Residents near Smithville, north of Kansas City, are concerned about the impact of massive data centers on their energy bills and environment. Despite assurances from Evergy, the local utility, that residential customers wont bear the brunt of the increased power demands, some residents, like retired military veteran David Hickok, have noticed a rise in their bills. Evergy attributes this to routine upgrades and weather preparation, not the data centers. However, skepticism remains, with some advocating for stricter zoning rules and environmental checks to protect against potential future strain and pollution.
