Are you in a world where energy prices are goimg down?

Quite possibly, depending on grid-scale renewable deployment. I also am about to install a set of solar panels, so a base level of power will cost me only the depreciation of the PV hardware.

We could condition datacenter installs to providing power to the grid - you want to build a datacenter, you also need to build a wind or solar farm that can fully power its peak load.

Yes, which planet are you on? Australia has recently lowered power prices due to renewables, probably other places will too for similar reasons as the rollout continues.
