Data centers get blamed for rising electricity rates. Amit Narayan says the fix isn't building more power plants — it's using the grid we already have smarter, and it could lower rates for everyone.

Incredible short-term thinking from all the state-level Democrats trying to cut energy efficiency funding to reduce electric bills. Would save a little money for a couple of years, cost everyone more in the long run: www.canarymedia.com/articles/ene...
