Or how about this framing (using your own numbers): for every dollar a datacenter is charged for electricity, regular hard-working Americans get charged $2.

First they gave all the water away for free to big ag, and now they're doing the same with the power.

Surely that’s a different mode for of criticism than the one in the post?

Well, I think some of those hardworking Americans would be happy to pay some of those $2 because otherwise all the SaaS services and other services, platforms, and tools running in datacenters wouldn’t be accessible to them.

Or did I read this wrong and somewhere it said only datacenters running inference or training for LLMs?
