The Hidden AI Tax: Why Your Electric Bill Is Exploding

Your electric bill didn’t rise because you left the lights on. It rose because the world’s richest tech companies—Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google—are building massive AI data centers.

Behind secret contracts, sweetheart utility deals, and blacked-out documents, Big Tech has offloaded the cost of powering their billion-dollar AI projects onto everyday people.

The result?
• Bills up 30–70% in some states.
• Utilities building billion-dollar power plants you’ll pay for, not them.
• Residential customers subsidizing corporate AI dreams while struggling to keep the lights on.

This isn’t innovation—it’s extraction. The next time you open your bill and feel robbed, remember: you’re funding the AI revolution, whether you asked for it or not.
