In her recent letter published in the Chicago Tribune, Naperville resident Sarah Baugh raises critical alarms regarding the proposed Karis data center development.

Baugh highlights the "massive scale" of these industrial facilities and argues that placing them so close to residential areas and schools is a fundamental zoning failure.

The Washington Post reports that the explosion of data centers is pushing the U.S. electric grid to its breaking point, leading to rising costs for ordinary consumers.

As tech giants build massive facilities for AI, utility companies are forced to build expensive new power plants and transmission lines, the costs of which are often passed down to residential ratepayers.
