Incremental data center electricity usage is outstripping reindustrialization by a wide margin.
Substantial costs outside of generation, for T&D. Regulators in many jurisdictions are creating special rates to prevent these from being passed on to retail customers.

Behold, the sublime majesty of profit per unit of real gross value added of nonfinancial corporate business: Corporate profits after tax with IVA and CCAdj divided by price per unit of real gross value added of nonfinancial corporate business.
