Amazon outbid Puget Sound Energy last month in an auction for a massive solar farm project in Oregon, leaving the utility concerned about a larger competition for resources with energy-hungry artificial intelligence companies.

They shouldn't be able to own utilities. Full stop.

Man PSE sucks, but Amazon is far worse.

This contemporary perpetual reality of forever cursed choices needs to end. The only utilities that haven't been terrible in my lifetime have been municipal utilities and a couple PUDs. There shouldn't be these private 'alternatives' to those.

We've (Murica) wisely pulled away from privately-owned publicly-used sewage treatment over the decades and for damned good reason. Energy should be no different.
