Chicagoans may have to dig a little deeper into their pockets to pay their electric bills next year as a result of advancing technology like data centers, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Reset checks in with a watchdog reporter to find out what the connection is between our electric bills and energy-hungry tech operations.
