Concentration is a poor measure of market power. Intense competition often leads to more concentrated markets.
Check out this paper for @AAF that discussed the real reason for rising beef prices. Spoiler: it's not market concentration.

Secretary Brooke Rollins@SecRollins
Today, just four companies — JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — control roughly 85% of the cattle processing market. That level of concentration has surged from just 25% in 1977 to 71% by 1992, and now to an astonishing 85%. Together, these companies operate through dozens of subsidiary businesses, creating a landscape that leaves many of our cattle producers with limited marketing options. For some ranchers this means less marketing opportunities, complicating an already challenging marketplace. We must work to address this to protect our ranchers and consumers. @POTUS and this administration are focused on promoting fairness and competition — ensuring our producers have options and a level playing field. 🇺🇸🥩

America is turning to #naturalgas to power #AI #DataCenters, despite its higher carbon intensity.
Connection costs:
#Naturalgas $24/kW
#Solar $253/kW
#Wind $335/kW
The huge cost difference is due to renewables' massive geographical/infrastructure hurdles.
