Why the fuck is the general public footing the costs in the first place. These are FOR PROFIT businesses. They eat the costs. This is part of what the middle class is so fucked.
Funny way to say that electricity cost will be absorbed by the public.
According to Trump’s trade and manufacturing adviser Peter Navarro. So it’s total bullshit
Just like how tariffs are paid by foreign countries, and Mexico will pay for the wall. s/
They will socialize the cost and capitalize on the profits.
I’ll believe it when I see it. These big tech companies have captured the Trump administration
Ohhhh that’s why everyone was selling off AI adjacent stocks before the announcement

🙄 Lies.
I’m sure that’s why electricity has gotten so cheap over the past couple of years.
EDIT: adding /s because people are apparently too thick to get the sarcasm.
Data center builders like Meta will be forced to ~~‘internalize’ costs~~ send more bribes to Trump.
Does this mean they will pitch in or cover what they are costing us?
You say will, article says „may“. Guess which one I’m believing.
Data Center laws should include:
• data centers should self power through renewable energy or they must pay for any utility expansion projects up front to cover increased capacity
• data centers must have complete water treatment facilities and recycle their own water vs draining local aquifers. An escrow account must be established for remediation if they pollute or drain local aquifers
• there must be some distance between the data center and public spaces with some acoustic buffering (space, trees, something).
Translation- they gotta pay for their own shit
Peter Navarro? The guy who invented an „expert“ to quote in his books on terrible tariff policies, and named him „Ron Varra?“ So, we’ll be privatizing the profits and socializing the costs again.
lol no they won’t. good one.
How is it we can’t require data centers to be powered by renewables?
I mean , corruption of course.
they’ll build their own power plants and call it innovation. same thing mining companies did a century ago when they couldn’t get the grid to expand fast enough. internalize costs just means they’ll pass it to users through higher ad prices.
