Yup. “The bipartisan legislation, unveiled last week, represents the most aggressive response yet from Washington to data centers amid growing backlash over their energy and environmental impacts.”

Remember what we’ve found out about training shortcuts and recruiting with white supremacist signals.

Remember idiotic performance with RI judge and high school intern that thankfully involved only threats, not gunfire.

This is heartbreaking — and so unprofessional.

All money from your pocket into fossil fuel’s. Trump’s big corrupt donors are looting the country, and you.

Fossil fuel industry dominant products are lies, hydrocarbons and pollution.

Senators appear to have struck a deal aimed at tearing down regulatory roadblocks that can make building big things in the U.S. impossible. The proposal would rewrite project review rules and speed up legal challenges that stymie energy and transportation projects.

Once again, Trump and Putin take the side of international corruption. Trump/Russia.

With all the Republican-condoned methane leakage along the way, on top of the cost of transporting, liquefying, shipping, re-gassing, and more transport, yes, it starts to look more polluting than local coal. Polluters don’t care.

Turns out it was two bedrooms. My bad!

6. Last, but not least, FAFO for clean energy! If the administration is caught denying permits systematically to clean energy sources, the roof falls in on them, with massive damages payments they would do well to avoid :-).

5. “Virtual power plants”? Yup, if you can aggregate lots of rooftop solar, for instance, you can bid that resource into your electric grid. Let a thousand flowers bloom.

4. First big bite at REAL data center accountability: data centers must pay for any network upgrades needed to serve their big demand, so ratepayers don’t bear the cost burden of added infrastructure.

3. At long last, a state block grant program to contribute revenue to coastal and ocean protection is in place. Next, let’s get it funded with a GOMESA-for-the-good-guys revenue stream. Lots of groups will benefit.

2. I hate “inter-agency process” where executive branch laziness, incompetence, and intramural quarrels hide. We put discipline and transparency into that mess, so agencies can’t hide their screwing around without accountability.

1. Developers have to file notice of stakeholder engagement up front, which will reduce dumb project starts like proposing turbines in a major harbor’s shipping lane. You’ll get busted fast if you haven’t done your stakeholder work, up front.
