ezst036 Thanks for once again making our electric bills more expensive, EPA. Bunch of worthless POS's. Now where is Musk going to get power from? The Grid. If Musk and all the other AI Data Center Gods are siphoning the Grid for power instead of the turbines, what is that going to do to the monthly bill of every person who comes to the Tom's Hardware forum? Up, up up! How much more can we take of this? This is exactly the kind of thing that makes people wonder why in other contexts why there's never been anybody from an administrative agency who ever goes to jail, or even faces some sort of consequence. The administrative agencies constantly make these decisions, they are constantly hurting us, and they never, never once, ever have to face any repercussion. They have an entirely free hand. They are so out of touch with average Americans it is ridiculous. All of these bureaucrats in their ivory towers jacking up our energy prices every month and what do they care? They have no accountability. The federal agencies are completely out of control. They make 6 figures a year, an additional uptick in their electric bills won't hurt them. Bet. Bet that not once did the EPA ever stop and think "How will this affect or even hurt average Americans?" Nah. Why on earth would they bother to think of something so simple. If administrative agencies did ever think of things like that a lot of our lives would be quite different. It really sucks when they never stop to think about how they'll hurt you. Reply

An impressively ignorant post which seems like it must have taken a lot of effort to ignore reality. Turbines like these aren't a permanent solution and are being used as a stopgap until capacity is available from the grid. This means the prices are going up anyways, and in a lot of places the prices will go up before the data center is drawing full power from the grid due to upgrade costs being passed onto electricity customers. If you want to complain about bureaucracy raising costs perhaps look at the officials rubber stamping data center builds and utility commissions allowing grid expansion costs to be passed onto customers. Those are the real problem rather than the one which rules skirting regulation to poison people who live near data center builds without oversight is not acceptable. Reply
