Must...have...MOAR POWER!
Supplying the demand with reliable power is a matter of economic and national security, Womack said. Southern expects 80% of the demand through the end of the decade to be met by renewables, he said.
Which means that 20% more FF powered plants will be necessary as well, without retiring any of the currently running plants. IOW, all of the added renewables does nothing to reduce carbon emissions at all, it just gets worse.
Opposite the banksters who see no solution to lack of affordable housing because of insufficient supply, the economistas tell us we must build terawatts of new power generation to feed the insatiable lust of billionaires for electricity. Power for computers must be found...housing for the homeless cannot be. The hypocrisy of capitalists laid bare for all to see. If they put half the investment they are making into data centers into affordable housing, the homeless crisis would be over inside of 5 years.
Still, not a single politician from any party including the minority parties has stood up to point this out and demand an immediate national affordable housing act. Make a law that for every dollar Google spends on building data centers they have to match with a dollar spent on new housing. All the housing and data center to be powered by the renewable energy plant they also have to finance.
Why is there nobody who will suggest this in any state assembly if not in CONgress? Is there not 1 in the whole FSoA who can see the OBVIOUS? Where is Captain Obvious when you need him?
