When unemployment is low in the construction sector, we can’t have them pay. When they pay, they’ll outbid for workers who were previously building homes and public infrastructure. We’d either have to outbid cloud for these workers, or we’d pay by having higher housing prices and crumbling infrastructure, which incurs other social costs. Real resources are finite.

The resources are finite whether the taxpayers pay or the corporation that needs the electric upgrade pays.

Wouldn't the market just expand to absorb the extra demand?
