In the USA, eg California, the cost of building out the grid we need (to achieve netzero) is mostly borne by retail consumers. Versus industry and data centers. (IIRC)

Obviously, this creates huge push back, threatening the transition to renewables.

The Correct Answer remains federal policy and support. Just like the New Deal Era's electrification of our country.
