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

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‽‽‽
