Democracies should do what the people want. One way to start would be by requiring all data centers to have on site 24 hours of energy storage to cover 100% of their loads before they can get an interconnection to the grid (and make BYOE off-grid operations illegal).

Thanks to green power incentives, I installed solar panels on my home last year, bought a PHEV, and now charge both my car and e-bikes primarily through solar power. We have cut our energy use dramatically and generate as much electricity through solar as we use. That is energy independence!

I dug into EIA data and found a growing divide between electricity prices at investor-owned utilities and public power providers. Then @michellema.bsky.social and I visited two towns that show what that divide means for customers on the ground. Read our story here! www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

In the US that seems to vary widely depending on your electric company, state regulation, and other random stuff. (Even where it's not, if you live somewhere that needs air conditioning, solar is a great combination because it produces the most power when you also need the A/C.)

Bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry. We've saved tons of money since getting rooftop solar in 2019.
