Nah, my local bloodsucking electricity monopoly (SE Wisconsin) will be charging the new datacenters the lowest possible per kWh rate, and due to the huge expected demand just got approval to build new natural gas power plants that ALL of us government mandated customers get to pay for.

You know, for the demand that would never exist if we weren’t subsidizing the brand new datacenters.

It’s a complete scam.
