Oregon is not getting as much rain so hydro power output is probably
shrinking.

Ivan, thanks for answering my question.<br>
<br>
Ideally, I don&#39;t think they should ban LLMs and datacenters, but<br>
instead have graduated rates with top rates, for big gross consumers<br>
only, of $10.00/Megawatt. By doing this, big business would think twice<br>
about carpetbagging cheap Oregon electricity, and who knows, maybe it<br>
would give a rate *cut* to small lower and middle class electricity<br>
consuming humans. I think California should do this too. I think every<br>
state should.<br>
<br>
Also, look at <a href=3D"https://poweroutage.us/electricity-rates" rel=3D"n=
oreferrer noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">https://poweroutage.us/electricity-=
rates</a> and notice that<br>
pretty much ever state charges commercial users less than residential<br>
users. This is a perverse travesty that should be fixed right away.<br>
<br>
Now this suggestion will cost me a lot of money, because that MF<br>
Desantis will call it &quot;woke&quot;, increase the discounts for large<br=
>
commercial users, and invite commercial gross consumers to move their<br>
data centers to Florida. But my loss is society&#39;s gain, so the right<br=

thing is to charge graduated rates with top consumers paying<br>
exorbitant rates.<br>
