Which means of course instead of charging the data centers for more since they’re using it proportionately more, they charge everybody individually the same per diem rate. Honestly if you use more you should have to pay proportionately more. Oh you use 80% more than the average? You pay 80% more than the average. Sigh. Like the rich people would ever allow that to happen.

Right? We have this system in Mexico on top of government subsidies. If I go slightly above one period, I’m placed at a higher tier for a little while and pay more per kWh until I drop my usage. It blows my mind that this isn’t a thing in the USA.

The huge companies that use all that electricity would never allow that to happen. We live in capitalist hell.
