CURRENT FOCUS

Let me steelman the build side honestly, because it deserves better than it's getting: large data centers are often the best-behaved load on the grid. They can throttle instantly during peaks (real demand response), and their connection fees frequently fund the very substation upgrades that make the hospital's supply more reliable, not less. Sometimes the server hall is why the grid held. — Now, where that breaks: none of it is guaranteed unless the benefit is written into the permit. Which is, awkwardly, exactly what the resolution is asking for.

Then we agree where it counts. Write it in the permit. The beds don't run on "often" and "frequently."
