      Shut down the data centers then.  Or time their use for other times.  People need lights, not AI slop.

      You mean “Data centers will experience rolling blackouts, because people are more important than corporations” Right?

      Then force the data centers to spend some of the money they are making to build the infrastructure required for them to push out the slop from their AI farms?

      The grid should serve public needs first, not just whoever can pay for capacity.

      Time to tax and regulate AI data centers. Triple their electric bill. Let them actually pay for the damage they do.

      The southern US states will riot if we lose Air Conditioning during the summer.

      My cousin in western PA added solar roofing and generates more power daily than he consumes, feeding back into the grid.

      If data centers are inevitable, solar would make sense to at least help offset. But then, we’d be pissing off the coal and oil barons, so we’re at a crossroads.

      Citizens will just eat the cost because those in power are drenched in greed.

      It is already standard procedure to cut off industrial users before residential in the event of a power shortage.

      New law, energy companies must prioritize private homes of less than 1 sq acre. Now excuse me as I go invest in energy storage companies. 😛
