Without a requirement for DC's to add more power to the grid I don't think the price is going down, they're essentially adding to demand and the supply isn't particularly elastic. That being said this is a good opportunity for renewables, they're the cheapest form of power.

And we just saw a pretty strong repudiation of that type of DC buildout. I have a little hope politicians can communicate it’s not DCs that are the issue, but the externalization of all the costs.
