Ohio should mandate data centers generate own power
An opinion piece in the Cincinnati Enquirer argues that Ohio should mandate data centers to generate their own power and cover all associated infrastructure costs, rather than burdening existing utility customers. The author highlights the PORTS-Pike project in Pike County as a model, where OpenAI is committed to a data center campus with its own 10 gigawatts of power generation. This model is advocated for future hyperscale projects, specifically mentioning a proposed Amazon Web Services campus in Trenton, Butler County.
