Data centers have made substantial requests for electricity, equivalent to the amount needed to power every home in the country. This demand is spread across a significant portion of the United States.

However, it appears that much of this requested electricity may not actually be needed. The true extent of the demand is uncertain, with indications that it may be inflated.

Further information on this issue can be found through the Waco Tribune-Herald, which has reported on the phenomenon of 'ghost' demands made by data centers.
