They also need to shoulder 100% of the burden of the increase in the cost of electricity due to higher demand... Paying for the infrastructure is a great start...but when demand goes up, so does cost, that needs to 100% be shouldered by the datacenters... Residential customers shouldn't see even a $.01 increase over pre-datacenter rates.
