📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/

Georgia Commissioner Tim Echols says regulators will reduce Georgia Power's fuel costs by "$16 next year".
But Ga. Power's own data shows that it is UNDER RECOVERED by almost $1 billion on fuel costs.
Either he's flat wrong or we're in store for another election year gimmick.

Why would a regulator want low turnout?
Because the PSC has funneled billions from Georgians to Georgia Power... from Vogtle overruns, to a massive new gas buildouts and record profits.
Bills didn’t just go up. They were engineered to extract from regular people like you.

This is some of the nastiest work I've ever seen.
Taking customer money collected for federal income taxes and instead sending it to shareholders.

America's Nuclear Renaissance: How the TVA Can Lead Our Energy Future
Senators Blackburn and Hagerty call for leadership reform at TVA to spearhead America's nuclear revival and compete with China through small modular reactor technology.
TN Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn recently threw a fit in POWER Magazine saying the TVA board lacked "talent, experience, and gravitas".
Then they nominated Beaman... So much for "talent, experience, and gravitas".

Trump removed three experienced TVA board members this year, eliminating the quorum necessary to conduct regular business:

2. Joe Ritch (longtime TVA board member)
3. Beth Geer (longtime clean energy adviser)

What he does have:
- Allegations of sexual coercion/abuse in divorce records
– A Capitol Hill townhouse where Speaker Mike Johnson has lived rent-free
– A role in a House ethics case involving campaign finance violations
- More than $450k in contributions to Trump and allies

Lee Beaman has no apparent energy experience. But he’s Trump’s pick to help run TVA.
Beaman would oversee TVA’s $12 billion budget, nuclear fleet, and long-term planning.

Georgia Power wants to hide from the public:
1. Cost of its expansion plan
2. How much power big users will need
3. How much each customer class might need to pay
4. The types of power plants it will need
5. Assumptions it uses
6. Info on major outages
7. Transmission costs
