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.

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. ...
