But residents like Ansley Brown are fighting back. Her mother bought their family home in 2003 through a USDA rural development loan for single mothers. Now the utility wants the property for the corridor. Brown’s viral TikTok exposing the lowball offers (she says $70,000 to $100,000 below market) has racked up millions of views and drawn state lawmakers into the fight.
Georgia Power says the line is essential.
The company is racing to add roughly 10 gigawatts of new generating capacity over the next five years, with executives openly stating that about 80% of that power will go to data centers. Meanwhile, transmission has become the bottleneck, and utilities are turning to eminent domain to clear the path.
This isn’t happening in isolation. We’ve been pounding the table on data center resistance, from Northern Virginia counties rejecting new substations to Texas communities suing over water drawdowns and power rate spikes. The pattern is the same: hyperscale demand collides with local infrastructure limits, and the costs get socialized while the profits stay private.
Electricity prices are already feeling the pressure. Utilities across the Southeast and Midwest have warned of double-digit residential rate hikes tied directly to data center load growth. Georgia Power’s own filings show residential customers absorbing a growing share of the bill for transmission and generation built primarily for big tech.
The same dynamic is playing out with Meta’s Georgia facilities, where local reporting has highlighted water quality complaints, including muddy runoff affecting nearby residents, alongside the power demands.
We’ve seen this movie before with pipelines and wind farms. The difference now is the sheer scale of the load and the speed at which it’s arriving. Data centers don’t just want power; they want it yesterday, and they’re willing to let utilities use the state’s hammer to get it. The pushback in Georgia is a warning shot as more communities draw the same line.
Larry Fink is more worried about someone damaging these monstrosities than what it is doing to the population being affected by this land grab. Ask yourself why is this happening at this pace? What is the rush? Who is behind this? Is this just so people can get answers or is this more of the surveillance apparatus? Ba’al worshipers have no concern for the welfare of those that are affected. Their GOD is of this world and they have accumulated considerable resources to push this agenda by only promoting their own and other like minded if it assists in accomplishing the final take over of this world where they will declare themselves as GOD like or in one case GOD. Know them by their works.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t amazing how fast the threat of climate change disappeared? As these data centers require soooo much energy and water. It just shows how much manipulation has been behind each so called news of the mockingbird media where each read from a specific script. Now they don’t care what anyone thinks as they believe no one can get in their way to finish what they began centuries ago. Displace GOD. However, I witnessed just a couple days ago 10000 glorifying the True GOD. It was uplifting. This spiritual battle is far from over.
