How about these companies running giant datacenters build their own power plants on their sites (or pay for/install the lines to where their dedicated plants are), and if there's not a way to do that, physically or monetarily, then they just can't build the site?

Oh, wait, I forgot. The conservative 'business model' is ALWAYS 'socialize the costs, privatize the profits (and then pay no taxes on the profits)'. Silly me!
