Spiking demand is sending energy bills skyrocketing, while the governor threatens to pull the state from the grid.

I haven’t looked into this, but why aren’t states creating a very expensive tier for energy consumption?
And if the problem is that it would impact other businesses, why not narrowly tailor such a tier that AI companies would be the ones impacted?
If it’s going to take infrastructure to support AI, then the AI companies should fund it via taxes.
Oh, right, that’s socialism according to the GOP
Regulating demand like this is supposed to be like the one thing a free market is good at, isn’t it? Supply can’t go up, so prices go up until demand evens out. Am I supposed to believe that all the free market stuff I hear about isn’t working?!
most of them are based in red states for a reason, little to no regulation, and the voters arnt likely to push back against these companies.
Actually this is due to laws passed by bypartisan congresses. Look up how fucked up the U.S. electricity regulations are.
