ICE no longer has anything to do with immigration. (It's not even about deportations - over 10X more illegals in Texas than Minnesota!)
It is 47's personal army, and he's using immigration as a cover to harass his political enemies.
If anyone is surprised, they do not understand 47 AT ALL.

What does Montco’s PJM have to do with data centers and why is Gov. Shapiro always so mad at it?
PJM plays a major role in getting data centers powered and connected to the regional electrical grid. Consumer advocates say the data centers are forcing consumers to pay for the new power plants.

Let us not forget that farmers have ALWAYS been in the energy industry - even before it was called the energy industry.
Seen that way, and with these numbers, and with today's renewable energy technology, it seems pretty damn stupid to use fossil fuels.
Why are we still burning stuff?

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

As usual, the bulk of failures were distribution, NOT generation. When generation does fail it's majority fossil fuel plants. Wind/solar generally only fails when utilities fail to weather-harden it.
