Hey, you regular working class home owners or renters: start sending (re)election 'contributions' to your local government. They will look at your small checks and think "these small $$$ are NOTHING compared to the big ones we get from those building the data centers, hahahahaha".
The energy secretary issued an alert earlier this week about stabilizing the power grid. Although data centers are energy gluttons they're expected to use 20% of all available electricity), another culprit was the lack of reliable generators to keep up with demand like wind turbines (So much for renewable energy) -lg
Reduction plants (smelting), rolling plants (metal manufacturing), and now Data Centers. When these guys shed the load, for whatever reason, they cause huge transients in the grid, which can certainly handle them - but it's hell on everybody else, mostly the small household users. Sags, spikes, phase mismatch and ripples throughout the system... Our grid, indeed, is poorly protected and maintained thanks to the Green Weenies putting such regulations on everything that the industry is largely taxed to death if they try to improve any part of their system(s).
Come to think about it, there was a day last week that I noticed the stove clock flashing, must’ve been an interruption. Upper Valley here.

Thanks, Demoturds...
The Green Party is behind these bs stories.And the seemingly fake news show was a ad for something you don’t need.The sky is falling.
