I'll note that the article as originally published contains a typo; Ruth Porat is the CIO at Google, not the CEO.

Wow, Republican delusion lines up perfectly with big-business interests? weird.

Also weird that the "extreme" climate agenda has been calling for strengthening the power grid for decades.

    Yeah like that was the point was to centralize everything on electric power so you can work on swapping out things like coal for more sustainable forms of electricity.

    How that is a negative for data centers are some mental gymnastics I’m not willing to make.
