    “AI energy crisis” — also known as “We don’t want to pay for infrastructure. Sell us your electricity at rates cheaper than home consumers.”

    Google and the rest of them need to get off their asses and lobby Trump to stop killing wind and solar projects. This whole manufactured crisis is so tech corps and oil companies can make more profits at everyone else’s expense.

      Google and the rest of them need to get off their asses and lobby Trump to stop killing wind and solar projects.

      Why would they do that when they can in-house capacity they need and leach the public grid for the rest?

      This whole manufactured crisis is so tech corps and oil companies can make more profits at everyone else’s expense.

      And it’s working out great. Both these industries are making a killing.
