What happens when Big Tech joins with utilities companies — the ultimate monopoly — to negotiate secret power deals? The American consumer loses. I sit down sits with former Wisconsin Public Service Commissioner Dan Eastman to expose how Big Tech companies and utility monopolies are pushing unprecedented electricity demands onto America's aging power grid. Eastman explains why utilities are incentivized to overbuild power infrastructure, how taxpayers could be left holding the bag for billions in stranded assets, and why sudden data center disconnections could create dangerous grid reliability problems. We also discuss secret NDAs, local government approvals, transmission line expansions, land-grabs in rural America, and the growing alliance between Silicon Valley and regulated utility monopolies.
