Nearly 50,000 people on the California side of Lake Tahoe could lose most of their power in less than one year because their power company pivots to data centers

Liberty says there will be no blackouts, but power bills may go up and it is unclear where the new power will come from.
The area has ski resorts, casinos, and millions of visitors every year
