"Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Tech's energy-hungry data centers.
It's not clear that any state has a solution and the actual effect of data centers on electricity bills is difficult to pin down. Some critics question whether states have the spine to take a hard line against tech behemoths like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta.
But more than a dozen states have begun taking steps as data centers drive a rapid build-out of power plants and transmission lines.
That has meant pressuring the nation's biggest power grid operator to clamp down on price increases, studying the effect of data centers on electricity bills or pushing data center owners to pay a larger share of local transmission costs.
Rising power bills are “something legislators have been hearing a lot about. It’s something we’ve been hearing a lot about. More people are speaking out at the public utility commission in the past year than I’ve ever seen before,” said Charlotte Shuff of the Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board, a consumer advocacy group. “There’s a massive outcry.”
Some data centers could require more electricity than cities the size of Pittsburgh, Cleveland or New Orleans, and make huge factories look tiny by comparison. That's pushing policymakers to rethink a system that, historically, has spread transmission costs among classes of consumers that are proportional to electricity use."

Understand that Israel assassinated #AnasAlSharif after approving the plan to invade #GazaCity.
They knew he would not leave the city & would cover the assault & killed him ahead of it. Let’s just be very clear here.

#Trump wouldn’t deploy the National Guard as his supporters crashed into the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but he is deploying them into Washington DC today despite crime being on a “30 year low” (per the mayor).

Y olvidé mencionar el apoyo de sus tecnologías (hablando de las BigTech como #meta #google) y su pinche #IA al estado Zionista de Israel en el #genocidio al pueblo palestino, con el apoyo de #Usa por supuesto.
Uish me arde la sangre! Se que aquí hay mucha conciencia de todo lo anterior, pero a mi alrededor lo veo tan poco que no entiendo ya porque no quieren ver lo que hacen esos tiranos y darse cuenta o hacer algo. Puro conformismo.
