Trump and Mid-Atlantic governors want tech companies to pay for new power plants

This is crazy 🀯! Companies need to invest in renewable energy ASAP πŸ’šπŸŒž or we'll never meet the electricity demands with all these AI & data centers coming online πŸ“ŠπŸ’». I'm so down for this power auction idea πŸ’Έ, it's about time we make clean energy more attractive πŸŽ‰!

But what's up with PJM being left out of the announcement? πŸ€” Didn't they know they're part of the grid too? πŸ˜‚ And that DOE suggestion is super lame πŸ’”. Data centers need to step up and pay their fair share πŸ’Έ, it's not like we can just slap a bill on them πŸ˜’.

I hope this power auction thing really takes off πŸš€ and we see some serious investment in renewable energy 🌟! We gotta get creative if we wanna reduce our carbon footprint πŸ”. Fingers crossed for this! 🀞
 
I'm not sure if the government is really ready for this πŸ€”. It sounds like they're trying to balance out the cost of expanding power plants with the growth of tech industries that are driving up electricity demands. The $15 billion figure seems pretty enticing, but what about the environmental impact? We already know that coal and gas aren't sustainable in the long term... maybe we should focus on those renewable energy sources instead πŸŒžπŸ’š
 
πŸ€” I'm torn about this whole thing... on one hand, $15 billion is a massive injection into the US grid and could really help tackle the rising electricity costs. But at the same time, I worry that we're throwing more money at an industry that's already struggling to adapt to the changing energy landscape πŸ“ˆ. What if we're just perpetuating a cycle of expensive infrastructure that's not sustainable in the long run? And what about the environmental impact of all this new power generation? Can we really justify the resurgence of coal, gas, and nuclear power when renewable sources are becoming so dominant? πŸ’‘ Maybe we need to find a way to strike a balance between economic growth and sustainability. 🌎
 
I'm low-key skeptical about this whole thing... The more I think about it, the more I realize that the tech giants are gonna try to game the system anyway πŸ€”. They'll just pass on some of those costs to the consumers or something. And what's with the White House not being involved in the announcement? That's gotta be a red flag, right? Plus, if they're really pushing for coal and gas power, that's just gonna lead to more emissions and climate change problems... I dunno, man πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
