One report estimates that, in areas near data centers, wholesale electricity costs have risen by more than 200 per cent in the past five years. Rates will probably continue to increase to meet demand.

Turns out calling in snipers to target your students will haunt you.
Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?
Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.
