Why AI Is Making Your Power Bill Interesting

Talen Energy just dropped $3.5 billion to buy two big power plants, and their stock shot up 16% after hours. Why? Because all those AI data centers (think: the brains behind your ChatGPT and Netflix) need tons of reliable electricity. Talen’s move means they’ll be able to pump out 50% more power, mostly for tech giants like Amazon. If you’re wondering why your energy bill or local power grid is changing, it’s probably because the AI boom is making electricity the new gold rush. #Business #Market #EnergyNews
