Here's the thing: data centers are becoming increasingly demanding on our power infrastructure, putting real strain on the grid. But here's where it gets interesting—some major tech players are actively resisting what seems like an obvious fix. When electricity supply runs tight, the straightforward solution would be to temporarily disconnect these centers from the grid. Yet companies are fighting hard against this approach, even knowing the grid pressure they're creating. It's a classic clash between operational demands and grid stability concerns. The real question is whether we can find a middle ground, or if tech companies will keep pushing back on load-shedding measures.

Oh dear, this is the virtue of big companies. They milk the power grid and then smash the power grid's bowl. Haha.

Haha, big companies really think of themselves as parents. Just disconnect from the internet if needed, what else can they do? Do they really want to drag down the entire power grid?

Haha, tech giants are like this, creating problems while shifting the blame onto State Grid.

nah, classic asymmetric risk here—tech giants externalize the grid instability while keeping upside. they'll lobby their way out of load shedding requirements, watch how this plays out. happened with derivatives in '08, will happen again.

Let me see the data. These tech companies oppose network shutdowns for good reason — how is the cost of downtime calculated? From an engineering perspective, the issue isn't whether to shut down or not, but who bears the cost of the shutdown.

These big tech companies are really just creating grid crises on one hand and refusing to cooperate on the other,典型的只想躺赚不想担责
