Congratulations to the people of Chandler, AZ, who -- despite a fierce lobbying campaign -- defeated a massive AI data center that would have raised utility bills and drained scarce water. Oligarchs want working Americans to foot the bill while they profit. Not gonna happen!

Felon Musk already co-located his super AI "Colossus" super-computer in Memphis to take advantage of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) power systems, as well as moving his sinister businesses to Texas to take advantage of Joe Biden's massive infusion of infrastructure investment to the Lone Star State.

This initiative by the nefarious members of the Trumpf cabal is just another method of getting the hard-working American taxpayer to subsidize the projects, and therefore profits and wealth, for corporations and greedy mega-oligarchs like Felon Musk, Peter Thiel, Larry Zuckerberg, or David Bezos.

... In the courtroom of energy supply, data centers and AI make the case that electricity demand will grow strongly between now and 2030.

On one side, China argues that solar and wind renewables will fill the gap, and their growth in 2025 is strong evidence for this.

On the other side, the U.S. administration is trying to suppress solar and wind while arguing that new fossil gas plants and revitalizing old coal plants, plus a massive leap for nuclear energy, is the way to go.

In China, solar and wind are getting cheaper.

In the U.S. fossil electricity and new nuclear are getting more expensive. The result? Electricity prices will shoot up in the U.S. ...

At least they're not locating them next to population centers! I remember seeing something that said with the proper nourishment and programming, humans make good batteries.
