... why? the current (heh) situation is that they do these big announcements and then local/state governments around the US get in a bidding war to try to shift costs from the datacenter operator on to their own citizens, in addition to offloading all of the capex.
Well, I suggest you go into politics and do something about it rather than be pointlessly smug on the internet.
If you're actually interested, the reason it's important to build out the grid even more instead of "subsidizing" is because the current grid can't handle renewables well which we need to improve if we want to use sustainable energy.
