北弗吉尼亚州AI驱动的数据中心增长刺激了经济收益,但增加了电力、噪音和环境问题。 AI-driven data center growth in Northern Virginia fuels economic gains but raises electricity, noise, and environmental concerns.

美国各地数据中心正在迅速扩展,特别是在北弗吉尼亚州。 北弗吉尼亚州已成为全球发展领先国家,超过了北京等市场。 Data centers are rapidly expanding across the U.S., especially in Northern Virginia, which has become the global leader in development, surpassing markets like Beijing. 在AI需求驱动下,繁荣带来了经济效益,包括数千个工作岗位和数十亿个收入,但也引起了对电费飞涨的担忧——有些地区的电费高达267%——噪音污染、基础设施紧张以及环境影响。 Driven by AI demand, the boom brings economic benefits, including thousands of jobs and billions in income, but also raises concerns over soaring electricity costs—up to 267% in some areas—noise pollution, infrastructure strain, and environmental impacts. 尽管存在地方反对派和关于长期可持续性的警告,但该行业继续增长,截至2025年8月,有1 100多个中心在运作,近400个中心在建设中。 Despite local opposition and warnings about long-term sustainability, the industry continues to grow, with over 1,100 centers in operation and nearly 400 under construction as of August 2025.
