       | Unprecedented, sure, but not unpredictable. I live close to Tahoe
       | and the data centers mentioned are ones not far from me. They
       | keep popping up and it's pretty obvious at this point that there
       | has to be better planning for how they'll get power for increased
       | demand related to AI. Like what could it look like to force data
       | centers to produce and store an equivalent amount of energy to
       | their demand elsewhere in the grid to offset their impact?
