    The writer definitely knows it.

    what is this ridiculous clickbait headline

    Seems like pretty standard variable pricing. Nice most of the time if you can match your electricity demand with price drops. But I do think this kind of pricing is what caused some massive power bills for some people when the Texas grid collapsed in 2021.

      Yeah, the big concern for me is a price spike that I can’t scale load to avoid. I don’t own this house, so I can’t add something like solar or meaningful battery storage to it as far as I know; I’ve pondered about running the servers from stored power, though, I might look into it again
