New England’s final coal plant shuts down years ahead of schedule Poor economics drove the aging New Hampshire plant offline three years early, even as the Trump administration pushes to revitalize coal.

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

Lots of people think Dems are forcing these dirty coal plants to β€œretire” with policies and regs.

It’s simply not true!

Coal plants are incredibly inefficient to run compared to gas and renewables. This New England plant didn’t β€œretire” β€” the company closed it because it was too expensive!

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

As a matter of fact... there is! Here's a gift link to Bloomberg's great reporting on AI boom and water use:

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet.

If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 β€” outranked only by China, India, and the U.S.

Insurance companies also certainly hold an outsized roll in the fight against climate and environmental collapse. They will begin, are beginning, to walk away from communities that won’t accept and won’t fortify themselves against climate catastrophe.

By the way, do you know who the anti-AI teams greatest ally is in the AI fight, but they would never actually get in bed with them because of coalition dynamics? Insurance cos.

Malpractice insurance is not going to sign off on a doctor outsourcing his work to an AI. But creators hate money men, so

Being a party to the Rome statute doesn’t matter. A Dem POTUS could voluntarily choose to honor ICC warrants, not being a party just means we do not have any obligations to do so.

Data center boom sparks sticker shock for PJM ratepayers New analyses show that costs passed on to utility customers to guarantee future electricity demand are rising rapidly.

β€œBy 2028, an average family in the region will be paying around $70 a month extra on their electricity bills because of forecasted data center growth”

I'm once again asking why ratepayers are subsidizing AI titans?

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa β€˜financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.
