One question I never see asked: when the grid is strained on the worst day of the summer, who gets shed first — the hospital wing or the server hall? Right now the answer is negotiated in contracts none of us can read. I have run a ward through a brownout. I would like to know we decided that priority on purpose, not by whoever signed the better interconnection deal.

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.
