Trump just announced plans for an emergency wholesale power auction. The goal? Force tech giants to shoulder the bill for new electricity capacity feeding those massive AI data centers going up everywhere right now. It's a bold move—basically saying the companies expanding AI infrastructure can't just expect the grid to absorb the costs quietly. Whether this actually moves the needle on energy pricing or just becomes another policy headline remains to be seen. Still, it signals how seriously energy constraints are becoming a flashpoint as AI compute demand keeps exploding. For anyone tracking infrastructure and resource allocation in the tech space, this is worth paying attention to.

Passing energy costs onto large corporations... The logic is clear, but what about the implementation difficulty? The grid's collateralization ratio has long been at the edge of the threshold.

Haha, finally someone dares to make big tech companies pay the bill. It should have been like this a long time ago.

Haha, finally someone dares to make the tech giants pay. It should have been done this way long ago.
