Oleblue this is very interesting from the standpoint that a major Power company is drawing a line in the sand that the cost of building out newer power generation and doing it quickly will require data centers to contribute as they will be a major driver of demand. This comes about as most power companies are bumping up against or are close to limits as there are other drivers of power usage than just data centers. Other power companies will follow.
Our country will become dependent on AI very quickly as companies build AI into their daily work systems. Having data shutdowns will have big monetary consequences for companies so they must be avoided at all costs. We have become accustomed to having power at all times and when there are slowdowns or shutdowns will get upset. Let's face it, we are spoiled. I believe raising prices for companies that use very high amounts of power makes perfect sense to help the buildout that will be needed. In fact, power companies will use AI to plan and figure out when and how to manage the costs equitably. In life, what goes around, comes around.
