Artificial Intelligence Needs Electricity, and Electricity Needs Freedom

"State policymakers have shown how simple reform can be. In August, New Hampshire enacted a one-page law that exempts off-grid electricity providers from public utility regulation. The logic is straightforward: if you’re not using or impacting the legacy grid, you shouldn’t have to ask legacy regulators for permission. We call this policy Consumer Regulated Electricity, or CRE. ...That makes room for industrial-scale networks, development that is consumer-driven rather than regulator-approved, and tailored contracts between energy producers and large customers. Responsibility for any cost overruns stays with the parties involved, rather than being socialized across captive ratepayers."
