I recommend joining the Community Notes program. A bad AI outcome is everyone being misleading all the time. Community Notes help us avoid that.

@AndyMasley The Bloomberg article tried to tie wholesale price increases near Virginia data centers to increases in Baltimore retail rates, rather than linking Baltimore wholesale prices to Baltimore rates and Virginia wholesale prices to Virginia retail rates. Why let logic get in the way?

@AndyMasley Isn’t there like an inverse correlation? Like California electricity prices have skyrocketed but data construction hasn’t here. Compare with say N Virginia - huge tax boon, without commensurate energy price inflation

@AndyMasley Completely agree, Andy. She also completely ignores the taxes they are paying. Two recent examples in IN. Hobart already got $40M+ day 1 of an Amazon DC lacking there and will get $40M/year for 15 years. Jasper got $90M year 1 and $20M/year for 15 years.

@AndyMasley @ewarren rarely lets facts get in the way of her agenda.

@AndyMasley It's so disappointing that Democrats have a very clear and obvious enemy in the Whitehouse but have decided to do this instead

@AndyMasley When done WRONG, any industry (including DCs) can have major negative consequences. When done RIGHT, as is the case currently, they can have huge benefits. NiSource’s NIPSCO/GenCo model is going to deliver $1.4 BILLION in electric rate credits to 500,000 IN customers over 15 yrs

@AndyMasley The Bloomberg article was dumb even in how it tied it to wholesale prices

@AndyMasley With Elizabeth Warren, her hair is always on fire.

@AndyMasley Had Andy ever believed @SenWarren really got anything wrong, he'd have replied to her before tweeting to his Followers. But... 😜

@AndyMasley @SenWarren sure 😜

@AndyMasley warren tells whoppers too often for me to believe it's inadvertent

@AndyMasley Also if policy makers really cared about electricity prices they’d make it easier to build power generation + transmission. This is just degrowth nonsense

@AndyMasley Yes, we must be careful when citing data about this issue. For example you said Warren claimed utility bills went up 267%. What she said was electricity cost, which is only part of the customers bill. Data Centers will also impact the other part of the bill, infrastructure.

@CameronAfzal @AndyMasley California has a ton of datacenters

@AndyMasley So, what's the "real number" consumers are paying? And who's paying up for that wholesale nodal price increase?

@AndyMasley K

@samvega @SenWarren The social media team sees it either way but here I get the message out way more. My primary audience is the people reading twitter, not Warren herself
