China Data Centers Expand Amid Power Demands
New analysis shows commercial data centers are significantly increasing utility bills across the United States. The source described this capability as an equivalent to economic nuclear weapons. This move is viewed as an attempt by Iranian leadership to expand influence beyond national borders. The threat is being monitored as a global economic risk. The number of server racks at a data center has increased fivefold over the past two years, leading to concerns about electricity supply. To address this, local government and power companies have supported the construction of a dedicated power station for the data center, utilizing wind and solar energy. The system can also predict data center needs for the following day. The system is designed to forecast the next day's data needs in advance.

“系统在默默地伸张。运维工程师告诉记者，过去两年，他们所在原址的机架数量增加了5倍。算力规模快速扩张，也带来了一些现实问题。用电能不能跟上？于是，记者又见到了另一群人。在当地政府和电网公司的支持下，他们给数据中心建了一个专门的发电站。风力的风车，有这个光富的太阳能板。距离我们这个项目的话，是16公里的一个距离。系统会提前预估第二天的数据。”
