Lake Tahoe is confronting a serious energy crisis fueled by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure. The explosive growth of AI is driving such high electricity demand that nearly 50,000 residents around Lake Tahoe may soon need a new power supplier. Liberty Utilities, which serves the region, has been informed that its primary energy provider, NV Energy, will stop supplying most of its electricity after May 2027. The main reason is surging demand from massive AI data centers in Northern Nevada. Companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft are building or expanding enormous facilities near Reno. Nevada energy forecasts project that new data centers could add approximately 5,900 megawatts of demand by 2033, equivalent to the power consumption of major cities. Lake Tahoe currently receives about 75% of its electricity through NV Energy. Without a replacement agreement, Liberty Utilities must urgently secure new energy sources before the current contract ends. “It’s like we don’t exist,” said Tahoe resident Danielle Hughes. This situation highlights a growing global challenge: modern AI systems and data centers require enormous amounts of electricity to power servers, cooling systems, and complex models. In Nevada, data centers already accounted for roughly 22% of the state’s electricity use in 2024, a figure that could climb to 35% by 2030. While officials assure that the lights will not go out suddenly, and new contracts and transmission projects are in development, many residents worry that small communities are being outcompeted by powerful tech companies for limited energy resources. The conflict in Lake Tahoe offers an early glimpse of a much larger question facing societies worldwide: As artificial intelligence continues to expand, who will get access to the power it demands?

Terence Crawford doesn’t flinch when he gets jokingly sized up by war vet Black Rambo and almost gets at him 😂. Bud really out here getting shown more respect in Louisiana than another undisputed champion who’s really from there in Jermell Charlo but he still claiming Texas! 🤡

Amish families don’t need food stamps because their whole community pools resources. That’s the socialism Republicans scream about on TV.

This kid is going to grow up and be a better human than 90% of the people who watch and react to this video!!good job mom💪💪

The only way they would know this is if they are storing and using your card info to get personal information about you after you shop via data brokers… Interesting self admission here

i will never skip this video

They’re preparing for mass extinction events.

Maxwell – Everwanting: To Want You to Want (1998)

How many people know about our Jamaican blackbird (Nesopsar nigerrimus) aka Wild Sargeant. It is the rarest of our endemic birds and is listed as endangered. You will not encounter this bird in urban settings like Kingston as it is a forest specialist. #Roostersworldja

Baby elephant Daba and little rhino Maxwell are greeting each other in the morning! 🐘💗🦏 Maxwell is blind — due to a congenital eye condition — so he will live at the sanctuary for life and has his own spacious boma to “rule over” (black rhinos are solitary by nature and very territorial). However, Max still has his own “visiting hours.” When he hears the herd of elephants starting to move in the morning, he waits at the gate to greet them as they head into the forest. There is often a queue of elephants waiting for their turn to spend a little time interacting with the black rhino. On that day, lucky little elephant Daba got the first slot! 🥰

@whatbunnysaid The entire state is like this, it's nothing but a huge forest. This was my backyard growing up, we would swim in the pool, fish in the lake or run around in the woods. Just trees and wilderness everywhere.

@whitefuturo @BALUCIAGA Sounds like you need to do more research. This is the famous Somalian model Iman.

@BALUCIAGA Slim noses are a distinctly European feature. The only thing black about her face are her swollen lips and dark skin

tik tok is claiming darkskin black people have “eurocentric” features again. 🫩

@whitefuturo @BALUCIAGA It's said we all come from Africa which means Africa is everyones distant relative, Europeans derive from East Africa which is why East Africans have smaller foreheads, thin noses & lips. If you take the Neanderthal approach, it could mean that Homo-sapiens are advanced aliens.

@elefaantz Before ya'll knew the companies weren't Black owned and intentionally poisoning and over charging ya'll simultaneously. I was devastated when I discovered this.

this was such a perfect moment for me to be a teenager
