Comment on Data centers have hiked electricity prices on the public by $23Bparent

Comments

First they gave all the water away for free to big ag, and now they're doing the same with the power.

When they gave water to big ag, we got to buy food.

With this, we pay extra to lose our jobs.

The ag water was used to grow hay which was shipped to China and Brazil...

And corn which was used to make energy (as ethanol) at a fraction of the land efficiency of solar.

Nbd sun will provide power for a few billion years still

Not the political hill to die on

The hill to die on might be the one behind your house that has a nice view of the illegal methane generators that these data centers are using, because they sure as hell aren't running on solar.
