Home electricity bills are skyrocketing. For data centers, not so much.

Yes, I am Fucking Pissed at my energy bills for the last 6 months. Like WTH. It is like $500 a month vs what was $300 max. I told my husband... it is time to start investing in solar generators. We are getting screwed for some stupid tech boy.
I would love if this creates some kind of decentralized energy network. You know how you can sell your energy back to the grid when you have solar surplus? We should have the option of choosing the rate too. If they don’t want to pay our prices, they don’t need our electricity,
I know this is for the USA, but I'd like to point out something really fucked: in Denmark, if you don't use the energy your solar power produces, YOU have to pay the energy company for the extra electricity you put into the grid! Like... What‽‽‽
