Dalles: government subsidized Hydroelectric Power, that’s why.
Well that maybe, but electric rates are hella cheap in Oregon regardless. Mike

Yeah, I can kind of understand those, but as long as the grid is properly planned, it really shouldn’t have a destabilizing effect. In fact, many datacenter in California do CoGen and end up providing additional grid stability.Uh, ::cough:: PGE ::cough:: I so wanted to schadenfreude so bad with Texas and their shitty grid, but then remembered where I live. MikeWhat’s not to love about a power company that literally qualifies as a recidivist felon? It is my sincere hope to finish my mortgage and then start putting money towards electrical independence. (Wind, more solar, batteries, and disconnecting Persistent Graft and Extortion).I'm waiting on a software upgrade for my inverter to hook up a generator to refill the battery when it gets too low. Not off the grid, but not at the mercy of PGE's fuckery. How many datacenters are in Norcal? I imagine that it's a lot, but PGE's rates are like 2x the rest of the country. At least for residential. I always got a kick of Google putting a datacenter in the Dalles in Oregon -- basically mainlining the Columbia river. Mike
