Yes, good. It's an objective fact that electricity prices are rising and will keep rising because Trump / Republicans are terrible incompetent people who are gutting solar and wind, which are the only ways we could possibly meet the growing demand of data centers. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I’m sure they’ll convene focus groups and write papers and columns and letters to the editor.

The rise of data centers coincides with the rise of fossil fuel again because it's all the same fascism for the concentration of capital at our existential expense. bsky.app/profile/maxk...

I am so glad I put solar panels On my roof last fall. Got the tax credit and have only one electric bill so far this year.

Trump Administration policies are expected to *slow the growth* of solar, not "gut" it. But the economics of utility-scale solar + batteries are becoming too compelling regardless of any cutbacks to incentives and tax credits. Wind is another matter unfortunately.

The only thing Trump Republican “conservatives” put above money is ideology.

Our prices are up like 20% this year in South Jersey, I didn't realize the rest of the country had it so easy tbh. Anyway local Republicans just successfully killed the big offshore wind project that was supposed to happen here by running a huge disinformation and propaganda campaign. 🙃

Renewables have literally kept the Texas grid from catastrophic failure during the summer months in recent years. Texas.
