Because I don’t see power generation facilities popping up at the same rate data centers are, I expect prices to go up. Supply and demand.

It would seem to me, in the current environment, that they can be forced to pay an "unfair" share to make it fair to the people. Corporations spending $100Bs in a year can budget and charge for elevated electricity rates. Labor cannot.
