Bottoms, Jackson Clash Over Georgia Data Center Growth

Georgia gubernatorial candidates Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson are at odds over data center development in the state, with Bottoms advocating for a construction pause due to electricity demand, and Jackson emphasizing local control. The debate is intensified by Jackson's acknowledged investment in a data center project in Bowie County, Texas. Meanwhile, Georgia regulators have adopted special billing terms for large energy consumers to manage increasing utility costs.
