Raise the prices for the data centers to offset the cost of the regular consumer?

Insanity!

    Think of all those poor billionaires who won't be able to afford that 29th yacht if we made them pay their fair share instead of externalising their costs onto an already stretched general.public!

    if power companies charge consumers $100/month extra, we have no choice except to eat it and grumble about it.

    if they charge amazon, google, oracle $100/month extra, they'll spend $100 million to dismantle the company and install toadies at the head of its replacement.
