The Republican Party has become utterly divorced from common sense when it comes to energy investments and our future needs.
Trump keeping his ill-advised promises to coal mining interests on the backs of ratepayers.
But…but…the GOP insisted that coal was the most affordable method of energy generation and that we MUST keep a dying industry that employs fewer people than Broadway Theatre alive!
Also just reported by Bloomberg that consumer energy costs are already up 76% just so far this year on the largest grid due to data centers. Would love the regulars who simp for AI to jump in my replies to defend the dual threat of higher energy needs for these and our current approach of the dirtiest forms of energy to meet their voracious demand. I’m waiting 🙂
I bought a relatively small home to keep my costs down. During the winter months of 2023/2024, I paid between $50-$70 for electricity. This is now over $150 and my energy usage has **declined.** We are getting SCREWED by these data centers and AES.
Fk trumpstein!!!
Stupid is as stupid does, someone once said. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so incredibly backward.
And we all know that if power generators cannot recover these losses from the federal government, or get some form of relief from having to keep these outdated coal units running, the eventual solution will be more rate increases to cover those losses.
It is Republicans making America great again, whenever we were ever great in the first place. Burning coal is as stupid as it gets. I suspect we are actually trashing our country.
Remember when republicans used to decry big gov’t? This administration thinks it knows better than private utilities like these companies that have planned for years to close these old IN coal plants. And like the east coast utilities – also stock-traded companies – that have planned for years to purchase power from off-shore wind generators. It’s insane.
