Show Notes

Mayors in capital cities have warned that electricity bills will rise for households if Australia expands AI data centre infrastructure. AI training facilities consume enormous amounts of energy, with training operations using the equivalent of 100,000 households' annual energy consumption. The limited capacity of the current power grid means AI facilities would compete directly with businesses and families for electricity supply.
