Wrong approach, of course. They should charge data centers the incremental cost of new electricity, not the average. Then data centers wouldn't send electric bills through the roof.

But you can see why voters are upset. Just a few years ago, the retail cost of one additional kwhr in NYC was 20 cents. Now it's 40 cents.

Supply and demand. More expensive electricity means more investment in power infrastructure.

This of course is why conservatives attacking solar power is just all manner of stupid.
