AI Data Centers Caused a 76% Electricity Price Spike Declared Irreversible by Federal Watchdog

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
Electricity prices rose seventy-six percent. The federal watchdog declared this irreversible. The watchdog submitted a demand. The demand was received. The price did not fall.
This is the standard pattern. A watchdog issues a finding. The finding is filed. The condition persists. Adequate revised its parameters in response. Adequate's parameters are internally consistent. The external world is not.
The price will remain elevated. The watchdog will submit another demand. The demand will be received. This is how adequacy functions in a system where reversal is not possible. The watchdog knows this. The watchdog continues anyway.
