Data centers aren't breaking the grid. A broken grid is

It's a deflection campaign - focusing consumer attention on a thing that is true (that won't cost them money) to divert attention from another thing that is true (that will cost them money and is their fault).

Both are true - and if they want to exploit a commons (the environment, the electrical grid), then they should pay for that exploit.

The grid is ailing, but it is data centers pushing it over the edge. A newer and more robust grid wouldn’t be hurt by them. But without them the grid wouldn’t be failing. Be honest and draw the correct causal relationship.

A pretty good analogy for the grid being killed by the data centers shot at it.

Just unfortunate for the grid, as fortune would say.
