Evan Onstot on Data Centers: OG&E Joins Trump’s ‘Ratepayer Protection Pledge’ to Pay the Full Cost of Energy and Infrastructure, No Matter What

RUSH EXCERPT:
ONSTOT: "Well guys we know one of the worries we hear about data centers Is that all that energy use could drive up costs for everyone OG & E today said they are committed to making sure That does not happen Saying they will quote protect customers from increased costs related to serving high-energy demand consumers Including data centers as outlined in OG&E’s proposed large load tariff We’ve told you about this tarif before it essentially says if some customers use the most electricity They should cover more of a cost That means the cost would not be passed along two homeowners and smaller businesses And instead, we’D stay with the large users paying The full cost And this White House pledge is kind of like a bigger version Of that. Through This, President Trump Is calling on all leading US hyperscalars and AI companies to not only build or buy All the energy for building An operating it but also paying For The full cost Of Energy And Infrastructure No matter what OG&E says they plan To support The spirit Of That Pledge While Also Operating Within state law And Oklahoma Corporation Commission policy Back To you"
