16:55Now PlayingIn this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller and James Varney dive into his latest investigation on the promise and peril of America’s AI boom. At the center of the story is Meta’s $10 billion Hyperion project in rural Louisiana.
Supporters highlight the massive potential economic gains. But the project also raises big questions about resource use. By 2028, data centers are projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity.
We discuss what this project means for Richland Parish and the larger debate over AI’s growing footprint. Is Hyperion a once-in-a-generation economic opportunity or a disruptive gamble for rural America? What have we learned from other AI data centers?
