More data centers are popping up across the country as the need for facilities to store digital data increases. Between 2023 and 2024, the number of megawatts of storage under construction in primary markets, including Texas, California and Virginia, more than doubled. Data centers also require a considerable amount of energy to operate – with energy consumption expected to go from about 4% to as much as 12% by 2028. While data centers bring in an influx of tax revenue, many residents are concerned about having these massive facilities basically in their backyard. Correspondent Dan Lieberman travels to Ashburn, Virginia to learn how the data centers are impacting the communities they’re built in.
