Now Republican candidates around the U.S. are seizing on the fervor even as President Donald Trump actively courts tech titans and promotes the rapid, streamlined expansion of the energy-hungry facilities,” Bloomberg reports.

“The divide within the GOP months before the crucial midterm elections comes as the $725 billion data center rush helps drive up utility bills as much as 267% and otherwise upends American life.”
