Meanwhile everyone's homes electricity are at risk of being shut off in order to "help save the grid" when, at least in my case, we are charged extra each month by the electric company (fuck you Xcel Energy) in order to help build up the power grid infrastructure they explicitly asked for. Yet, years after this has been happening, there's still no added infrastructure in place and even a few months ago Xcel told me they might need to shut off my areas electricity for a few hours in order to "lessen the load" on the grid. Motherfucker, what did you do with all that money you overcharged me on for 3 years straight then?
I swear, if the startup cost for getting solar panels wasn't so expensive, I'd just do that all myself. I have no faith these electricity companies will build green power, or even upgrade the grid enough to handle these garbage data centers. You'd think they would just build a solar farm with batteries in order to not, ya know, shut off people's electricity during peak hours and let them possibly boil or freeze to death. It's crazy. These companies should shut off the data centers FIRST, not our homes! Don't leave us holding the bag for your mistake.
