人工智能需求正在推动美国电力线路的扩张,引发了当地对土地使用和成本的反对. AI demand is driving U.S. power line expansion, sparking local opposition over land use and costs.

来自数据中心的AI驱动需求正在加速美国各地高压电线的建设,引起土地所有者、社区和监管者的反对。 AI-driven demand from data centers is accelerating the construction of high-voltage power lines across the U.S., sparking opposition from landowners, communities, and regulators. 例如宾夕法尼亚州一个500千伏的工程计划, 目的是为技术枢纽提供电力, 由于宽阔的走廊而面临阻力, 高塔的钢铁结构, 以及对农田、房屋和地貌的影响。 Projects like a proposed 500-kilovolt line in Pennsylvania, intended to supply power to tech hubs, face resistance due to wide corridors, towering steel structures, and impacts on farmland, homes, and landscapes. 公用事业公司认为,扩大电网对于电网可靠性和满足急剧增加的能源需求至关重要,预计到2028年将几乎增加一倍的输电支出,但批评者质疑必要性、成本、环境影响和缺乏当地利益。 While utilities argue the expansion is essential for grid reliability and meeting surging energy needs—projected to nearly double transmission spending by 2028—critics question the necessity, cost, environmental impact, and lack of local benefits. 反对声音在包括德克萨斯州、西弗吉尼亚州及整个中西部的州份日益增长，一些立法者推动简化许可流程，科技公司则在探索私营电力解决方案。 Opposition is growing in states including Texas, West Virginia, and across the Midwest, with some lawmakers pushing to streamline permitting and tech firms exploring private power solutions.
