So Ronny 2lifts... who should bear those costs? The State of Michigan, using your words, "subsidized" the building on power plants for Henry Ford's little idea in automation a hundred years ago. Everyone got less expensive transportation but the cost of the electricity generation was born largely by the state's taxpayers. This goes for every form of technological advancement. Oh... and the State of Michigan had the largest GDP in the US for the next 60 years but who cares....right? Employment in high paying jobs?... who needs that?
AI Data Centers use a lot of power and water. Seems like the state could get out of the way (de-regulate) those areas and use this spike in demand to advance those critical services for everyone. Does Florida allow micro nuclear reactors? If they embraced this technology there would be little to no immediate disruption or pricing issues.... rather a revolution would occur AND IT MIGHT BREAK THE PUBLIC UTILITY/GOVERNMENT unholy alliances around the US.
Instead of going down the road of advancement and creating a path to widely distributed power generation, local grids and breaking the monopolies of Public Utility Districts.... Ronny wants someone else to pay again. I'll do some digging and see how much he takes from the so called public utilities.
The only answer for our ancient grid and power needs is nuclear and the advancements in micro nuclear reactors is just the solution we need. The massive connected public utilities/government regulatory apparatus is aligned against local power generation with local grids because of the massive amount of taxation they receive from it. Note that Ronny is only divisive in this weird little sit in with his wife. No solution other than to divide people into groups who want Florida to price protect (socialist ideal btw...) and keep the same systems conceived in the 1930's to power a modern advancement.
