Claims analyzed
Claiming half of new US electricity demand in 5 years is from data centers — a big, specific number. — No Frame (75/100)
That's a huge chunk of the grid, and they're dropping it like it's a casual Tuesday. The numbers are wild. ⚡

They're hitting us with the 'loud noise in your backyard' horror story right out the gate. Pure emotional play. 🔊😡
Linking a 23% bill spike directly to data centers without showing the causal chain. — Missing Context (45/100)
The bill went up 23%, sure, but is it *just* the data center? That's a big leap without other factors. 🧐

They're calling it 'heated' but we only see the aftermath, not the full build-up. Conveniently edited, much? 🎬
