In areas with data centers, heat poses a challenge. Electricity demand increases during hot weather, putting a strain on power grids. This can worsen air quality for nearby residents.

A local resident, 82 years old, has concerns about the impact on her community. She lives near a data center and is hesitant to use her swimming pool due to the noise and fumes from the facility.

Further information about the effects of data centers on local communities is available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
