Tech giants are caught between two fires: their massive electricity appetite keeps climbing, but the political heat around energy affordability won't cool down. Here's the thing—instead of fighting over grid capacity, why not let hyperscalers go indie? A "bring your own generation" model could be the move. Companies invest in their own renewable energy infrastructure, take that pressure off public utilities, and solve the affordability crisis at the source. It's not just about lowering costs anymore; it's about who bears the burden. Data centers need juice, but that shouldn't squeeze households. The energy equation for Big Tech needs reshuffling.
