This energy pricing problem isn’t a demand issue, it’s a supply issue. Supply is the one area where Biden’s multitude of regressive carbon fuel policies are directly impacting pricing.
Indeed it is, its why I scratch deez nuts about the "electrification era" being crammed down our throats. Why we would want to put all our eggs in one basket is beyond me....not anywhere else is that encouraged, well except in the the bedroom. I almost feel like it is wall street pushing electrification, because it is a new way to buy and sell electricity relatively speaking. Not to mention, in times of high electrical demand....commercial, residential, and industrial are sent demand curtailment requests to shed electrical load b/c of the supply side issues. And when those demand requests are sent.....these places are often forced to switch to fossil fuels.
Coupe that with the threats of our power gird and we are sitting ducks.
What's your teams answer? As usual, you don't have one. No vision. No plans. Just status quo, and a whole lot of "we can't do that". You guys don't believe in America anymore, and it's sad to watch.

Biden put $65 Billion into updating the electrical grid, btw. You know: that infrastructure bill that you all pretend didn't happen.
You really do a poor job of of cultivating discussion.
Last I checked, investing in the power grid, is not generation....can you make fill 1000 gallons of bourbon if you only make 750 gallons....not unless you take shortcuts. Some call it diversity (no not the racial kind) the kind where you intentionally under power design. Closing our eyes that max capacity is not always expected all the time. It's how we got here...and making everything electrical is just plain stupid IMO. How about we get the entire grid fixed first, add in all the extra options that can backfeed power onto the grid, before we shut down coal, oil, and gas. Oh no, we cant do that.....the poor wittle progressive's will need more crying rooms. Mention anything nuclear any those same poor wittle progressive will need to go on anxiety meds.
Last I checked....the republican's have been pushing back on "your sides" green ideas, b/c they know full damned well we aint even close to being ready for green power.
Your turn.....what happens when your building loses power in the middle of run, how do you stay operational without the KW you need? How does a data center stay operations OR said better, how does a data center stay self reliant with n+2 or N+3 and no street power coming in?
