The rush to build "data centers"
It is fairly easy to fix the "demand to supply data centers" when the risks are appropriately allocated.
1. No increase in local electric rates for consumers and non-data center businesses.
2. No per capita reduction in supply of electricity to consumers and businesses due to need to supply power to any data center for any reason other than lessening demand per capita for power by consumers and non-data center businesses.
3. All risk of loss for data center participant(s) shall be carried by the:
a. participating electric company(ies) and shareholders of same,
b. data center owner(s), and
c. party(ies) seeking to profit (directly or indirectly) from their use of a data center.
