    I feel like big tech should be subsidizing rooftop and balcony solar if it needs energy so much.

    Sounds to me like they need to charge the AI data centers enough to cover the bill instead of making me pay it.

    Can’t wait to have no electricity if I don’t produce it by myself because corporate Karen needs to speak with their AI boyfriend.

    “Everyone”? Nope. Just the people who live in countries that are allergic to investing in public infrastructure.

    I’m no fanboi of the CCP, but this is one of the domains in which they absolutely, inarguably have their heads on straight. Meanwhile, we’re occupied with political posturing about how “woke” solar and wind power is.
