This was a helpful piece on why Missouri's SB4 isn't as great of a protection for electric consumers from a data center construction boom as proponents claim.

Missouri's top Republican said data centers won't raise electricity bills. Here's how they likely will
The Missouri Senate's president told Hawley that a new law protects residents from higher power bills caused by data centers. That's not entirely true.

For years, states raced to give hyperscale data centers bigger tax breaks and faster approvals.
Now, places like Illinois and Texas are considering moratoriums to hit pause, study the costs, and protect residents and ratepayers.

Of course the Greater STL lobbyist team view #datacenterSTL as a win.
Speaking of data centers, TierPoint has been converting former Ansira HQ w/ 200+ employees into a ghost town of 9 employees in Downtown West (2300 Locust). Greater STL crowed that it’s “a great example of how we need to rethink space to meet our future needs" 🤔

Nearly a month after the city approved a controversial data center project in midtown St. Louis, officials delayed a vote on zoning rules for the developments.
The proposed zoning rules are intended to help the city catch up with the growing demand for the installations.
