anybody remember this biden era kvetching about EVs overwhelming the grid?
now AI datacenters are the concern yet i don't hear a peep from the same people.
wonder what their motivations might have been...

@7666 it's comparatively easy to build out grid improvements for datacenters in specific locations but not for massively decentralized infrastructure for cars. source: relative specializes in this exact type of large power distribution.
datacenters pick precisely where to build based on what's possible. ev cars people plug into stations and into their house which are everywhere.

@7666 it is a fact though that money and effort is poured into improving the grid in specific places to gather tax revenue while the residential grid rots so I get your point.
