Commentators talking about solutions.
There are already solutions in the article:
> The three PUDs have been experimenting with policies that force miners to shoulder these extra costs and risks, while insulating ratepayers and the utilities themselves.
>1 .Chelan County, for example, created a special rate for miners and other so-called “high density loads,” or HDLs, back in 2015, that was effectively twice the residential rate.
> 2. Douglas County, meanwhile, began requiring miners to pay up front for any new infrastructure.
> 3. Grant County PUD is establishing special rates applied to companies “whose primary revenue stream is evolving and unproven” and whose product is “vulnerable to extreme value fluctuations.”
