This is what bugs me about our renewables transition. We should eventually be getting cheaper electricity due to solar overabundance and cost of production going to zero.
Instead, these data centers are gobbling up every free Watt the grid produces, not even paying premium for it, and we're soaking up the costs due to the price of the demand.
This then incentivizes anyone with a home solar setup to never give back to the grid at all, because otherwise you're feeding these assholes
