With tech companies squeezing A.I.-powered tools into every product they can, energy-hungry data centers are popping up across the country to provide the necessary processing power.

Our most popular cartoon this week, from the pen of John Cole, visualizes the problem with a giant yellow bird putting pressure on the power grid. Pat Bagley also drew a popular data center cartoon focused on a real farmer’s fear.

Otherwise, the focus continues to be on high prices. Can’t A.I. do something about that?
