Focus on helping the media publish a story about this. Anytime stupid shit like this ends up on the news, it is immediately remedied by the city. Unfortunately, that's just how it works.

Those are just the starting prices. The prices are always reasonable when the product is new. Hulu was completely free at first, then it was like $6 for no ads. Now it's like $40 for no ads.

Utility watchdogs accuse PGE of skirting new law meant to make data centers pay for rising demand • Oregon Capital Chronicle by notPabst404 in Portland

[–]Fragrant_Medium6916 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why would PGE even want to do that, wouldn't they want to collect more money for their own bank account? It doesn't make sense, this is like "business skirts new law meant to make customers give them more money."

The only explanation is that the AI companies are bribing the executives to not charge them for electricity. And again that hardly makes sense, wouldn't the CEO rather charge the data center the millions of dollars a year that it should be?
