This is partially true.

The real cause of the massive spike in power costs is AI data centers.

Laws need to be passed that not only limit what non green energy AI data centers can use, but place the burdedn of cost of their power entirely on the corporation

The real cause is DnD and computer games.

Costs are borne by all, but profits only for the few.

Utilities beholden to investor groups have been price gouging customers long before AI came along. We need governments that can competently govern and regulate.

  We need utilities run at cost by a nonprofit entity, whether that’s the state or some other managing group. Profits should absolutely not be extracted on necessities like energy.
