Data Centers Pay for Their Power Lines | Roanoke News

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

After pushing the State Corporation Commission to hold these tech giants accountable, she scored bipartisan support — including a letter from 20 legislators — ensuring Virginia’s growth doesn’t come at the public’s expense. Hundreds of millions in projected savings make this a smart, fair move that shifts the burden where it belongs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
