Florida Electricity Rates Set to Surge Amid Growing AI Energy Demand

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses the sharp increase in electricity prices in Florida as regulators approve hikes for the first time in years. He highlights how this comes at a time when AI’s massive energy demand is on the rise, further driving costs higher. McIntyre warns that within a few years, Floridians could be paying record-setting electricity prices due to this dual pressure from regulatory changes and AI-driven energy consumption.
