While I agree with your points, when your typical electric bill is $201 vs $75 compared to the city literally down the street because the one you live in sucks ai bros dickaganda, resources matter a lot. It's literally millions of residents overpaying for electric resources because of this bullshit.

Example 1 of many (where I got the numbers above):

San Jose has explored creating its own municipal electric utility, but a 2025 partnership between the city and PG&E to attract data centers to Silicon Valley has halted that pursuit.
