Electricity is not stolen. It is allocated, contracted, and metered. Data centers are large, predictable loads — similar in planning seriousness to industrial facilities Alberta already hosts.
Power without compute is unfinished modernization. Compute without power is a fantasy slide. Alberta can grow generation and transmission and host the halls that turn electrons into intelligence.
What to demand instead of “no power for servers”
- Clear interconnection and rate treatment
- Efficiency (PUE) and modern cooling roadmaps
- Alignment with provincial energy strategy
- Honest public numbers — not vibes
If Alberta refuses large digital loads while still streaming video, running banks, and buying AI tools, we simply import the intelligence from regions that said yes.
