Show Notes
Arizonas power grid is under strain due to the surge in data centers, which demand sixteen thousand megawatts, potentially doubling by 2031. A new bill allows utilities to build plants near data centers, bypassing environmental reviews. Lawmakers argue the economic benefits outweigh concerns, but APS seeks a 14% rate hike for grid upgrades. Meanwhile, AI discussions in Arizona politics have surged, with potential to fill workforce gaps as baby boomers retire.
