Seriously this money we can find in our couch cushions. Go look, I’ll wait…I can buy 4,000 tons with the change I keep in my truck for the car wash vacuum. If #coal was actually going to save the #grid & power our future #energysky

Oh, the irony. Same day that Senate cancels two land-use plans to allow coal leasing to continue in eastern Montana and North Dakota, this happens. And it happened because coal is now worth essentially nothing-- 1/10 of a penny per ton, as one company priced it at on Monday. #mtpol #northdakota

Trump's major coal sales flop in Wyoming and Montana - WyoFile

Feds postpone Wyoming coal sale despite promise to "revitalize" the industry. Critics say even the coal industry isn't betting big on its future.

An 18% increase in #healthinsurance prices regardless of the provider, is going to hit South Dakotans hard. Not good news, especially for families already struggling to make ends meet

Health care costs are crushing #Illinois families. Policy experts estimate up to 15 million people nationally are at risk of losing Medicaid or health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, and the crisis is deepening.

Great to see our US House candidates unified on generative #AI. Gronli & Jackley have the most closely aligned opinions, very refreshing. Kudos to all the candidates for not using it in their campaigns. #SouthDakota is not really a fan of #AI no matter the party www.dakotanewsnow.com/2025/10/07/c...

Candidates discuss the use of generative AI in the upcoming election

Here in South Dakota, questions are starting to be asked about how AI can and should be used in the upcoming elections.

Something to consider before asking ChatGPT anything. OpenAI's new data centers will consume 17 Gigawatts of power. More than NYC & San Diego combined. This is waste on an incomprehensible scale. fortune.com/2025/09/24/s... #AI #datacenters #ratepayers

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune

Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

Great oped on #coal from IEEFA. It's dirty, expensive, declining in use, and the administration is backing its play. Coal fired power generation is a relic of the past & #taxpayers need to say enough already www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/o...

Less than 1 penny per TON. There aren't enough words for me to describe what a terrible deal this is for the American people.

One company's data centers will consume as power as NYC & San Diego COMBINED. This is bad for our communities in so many ways. That kind of demand will raise our rates & strain the grid. Will you have power when you need it? #datacenters #rural #ratepayers

Expansion of AI data centers is bad news for our planet and for everyone who lives on it.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 6d

OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades
