#2. Public education IS the problem here. And the most impoverished districts receive the most funding.

More from the article ...

... Higher wholesale prices had a downstream effect on energy consumers, the researchers said, as residential customers paid huge fractions of the spending on transmission built for data centers.

The study found that spending across the four power grids jumped from $2 billion in 2020 to $34.2 billion in 2025, with data centers responsible for $8.25 billion of energy infrastructure costs last year.

Residential users were responsible for just under $3.5 billion, but they were billed more than $16 billion while data centers were billed about $3 billion.

Researchers said that antiquated formulas used to allocate energy costs along a power grid have historically divided those costs based on previous energy consumption, rather than new growth. That means households take on much of the costs for developing new power infrastructure.

"It's kind of a chicken-and-egg problem," said Fengqi You, one of the study's authors, in a statement. "Because if you're going to build a data center, you need to expand this power infrastructure. Otherwise, there's no electricity for them to run. But before they build, they're not using energy."

Residents of rural and lower-income areas saw their bills skyrocket, and in some cases faced increases in energy costs that were 76% larger than residents of urban communities, according to the study.

The researchers said that despite the concentration of data centers near metropolitan hubs, the financial loads they trigger often seep into surrounding suburban and rural areas because of policies that govern how energy costs are shared across regions. They argued that such policies warrant review. ...


Because chanteuse Judy Collins "chose" Stacy Keach over musician Stephen Stills in the late 1960s, this song was a by-product of his lament: YouTube

A recent OP I wrote discussed the racism that Joe Biden grew up in Pennsylvania: That Championship Season.

That 1982 movie starred the late Stacy Keach.

RIP and thanks for the memories.

Shhh. If you listen quite carefully to our fellow Americans below, you can hear them speaking. Listen carefully.


"No Iranian ever called me n____r."

"No Iranian ever fired me for being a woman."

"No Iranian ever cut my SNAP benefits."

"No Iranian ever repossessed my house or my car."

"No Iranian ever deprived me of universal healthcare."

"No Iranian aircraft carriers ever sent jets and drones to destroy my property."

"No Iranian ever over-looked me for promotion because I was compassionate for my fellow man."

"No Iranian ever killed 200 school girls in my neighborhood."

"No Iranian ever orchestrated the greatest transfer of wealth from bottom to top in my neighborhood."

Did you hear our fellow Americans?

Good.

All excellent theories.

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his secure federal cell at MCC on 10 Aug 2019 (during the first Trumpf junta).

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced on 28 June 2022 (during the Biden admininistration).

"Useless" Merrick Garland could have released those damnable files from 29 June 2022 to 5 Nov 2024.

Instead, Merrick "the Meek" kept those files from SC Jack Smith (who had no "need-to-know" as he was overseas at the ICC when these two cases broke), as well as the rest of the public (including NYS AG Letitia James and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg).

SC Jack Smith would have had a field day exploring other avenues of approach to prosecute Dummkopf Trumpf, instead of the two narrow tracks given to him by USAG Garland (1) organizing the Jan 6 insurrection; (2) and hoarding classified materials.

And Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's many victims would have been paraded around, providing lurid testimony about POTUS candidate Doofus Trumpf (R) to Congress and in NYS or Florida courtrooms.

That would have made Trumpf's campaign from 29 June 2022 to 5 Nov 2024 to seize power a bit harder.

My theory is that the AIPAC-laden cabinet of Joe Biden wanted the Epstein files -- a veritable Pandora's Box -- unavailable for public scrutiny in order to shield Israel's powerful tentacles in America through their two sayanims: Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

For example, Israeli ex-PM Ehud Barak inadvertent, yet embarrassing, exposure in the Epstein files occurred circa February to May 2025 during Trumpf's second junta, not during Biden's administration.
