The law requires data centers with peak demands of at least 50 megawatts to pay for their own electricity infrastructure.

    We can only hope that this becomes federal law.

      Highly doubt it will. The way things are going, it will become a federal law that data centers must have their electricity subsidized by poor people, and states cannot overrule this law.

        All citizens must do their patriotic duty and spend at least 3 hours per day turning hand-crank generators to make sure the machine gods (and more importantly, their oligarch owners) have enough electricity.

        …while datacenters also get priority rights to water.

      A federal law would say that the power can only be generated by coal, oil or methane. Got to look after the fossil billionaires.

      Tech companies bribe politicians. It’s well worth the investment for them.

      Whatever happened to that executive order Trump was so excited about, that said this exact same thing?
