Data center boom poses early challenge for New Jersey's affordability agenda
www.politico.com

.... New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill came into office promising to lower energy costs " even pledging to freeze utility rates.

Instead, they could soon be on the rise.

Electricity bills for New Jersey residents jumped about 20 percent last year, leading to record-high costs this winter " a spike regulators and consumer advocates say is being driven by the explosive growth of energy-hungry data centers powering the AI boom.

The surge is creating an early political test for Sherrill, a newly elected Democrat who made affordability the centerpiece of her campaign. She now faces rising costs driven by forces largely outside her control.

Much of that demand is coming from outside New Jersey. Northern Virginia -- home to the country's largest concentration of data centers " is causing a surge in electricity use across the regional grid that includes New Jersey.

Since New Jersey is part of a 13-state power market run by PJM Interconnection, Sherrill has few tools to stop the increases. ...

clip from the full interview in #1... physics knows how the image could be made

"A holiday named for the goddess is part of the neopagan Wiccan Wheel of the Year (Ostara, 21 March).[40]

In some forms of modern Germanic paganism, 'ostre (or Ostara) is venerated. Regarding this veneration, Carole M. Cusack comments that, among adherents, 'ostre is "associated with the coming of spring and the dawn, and her festival is celebrated at the spring equinox.

Because she brings renewal, rebirth from the death of winter, some Heathens associate 'ostre with Iunn, keeper of the apples of youth in Scandinavian mythology".[41]

Erroneous association with Ishtar

In 1853, Scottish protestant minister Alexander Hislop published The Two Babylons, an anti-Catholic tract. In the tract, Hislop connects modern English Easter with the East Semitic theonym Ishtar by way of folk etymology. For example, from The Two Babylons, third edition:

What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people of Ninevah, was evidently identical with that now in common use in this country. This name as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar.[43]

Because Hislop's claims have no linguistics foundation, his claims were rejected, but the Two Babylons would go on to have some influence in popular culture.[44]

In the 2000s, a popular Internet meme similarly claimed an incorrect linguistic connection between English Easter and Ishtar.[33]"
