Y'know those administrative warrants ICE uses to break down doors WITHOUT judicial approval? There are also administrative subpoenas used to extract detailed personal info from employers, email providers, etc.

This insanity MUST STOP! Additional power needed for data centers in PJM's region by 2030, is about the TOTAL used today in NJ, PA, OH, VA & MD!

WE pay for that massive new generation and infrastructure, so THEY can make HUGE PROFITS from AI, WHICH MANY DON'T WANT!

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.

Ms Gabbard,

You don't get to bury the complaint when you're the object of the complaint. That's why the IG is independent. That's why your OFFICIAL DUTY is to stay out of his way and let his investigation run its course.

Or do you have something to hide?

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*.

Reading about wind/solar 'failures' during Winter Storm Fern? Lies.

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.

Plans for torpedoing the 2026 election are ALREADY UNDERWAY!

In a normal administration this MIGHT be marginally acceptable IF the agencies seizing and investigating voting machines had some semblance of independence from the president whose impeachment depended on the outcome.

NOT THE CASE HERE!

How is it NOT a red line that ANYONE be denied due process in America? ANYONE!!! 'We'll do the right thing for citizens, but shit on you!'

Like summarily revoking an immigrant's status mid-process so they can be deporting.

Like processing minors without legal representation.

ALL workable forms of govt are a mix of all other forms of govt. Our American experiment would immediately collapse in chaos without the bits of socialism it incorporates.
