Virginia county with 37 data centers expects price of electricity to jump 25%

Because shit-hole Dem-ruled states are run by Democrats (duh), they hate any form of electricity that's not made by solar, wind or hydro--and a lot of 'em hate hydro too, cuz...reasons.

Dey hate low-cost, reliable electricity cuz most is made by burning natural gas or coal to boil water to make steam that turns the huge turbines that turn generators.  An' Dems absolutely oppose that cuz burning anything cuz dat produces CO2, which the Dems insist is causing the planet to warm fatally.

So you might think the Dems don't oppose nuclear power, since it doesn't produce CO2, eh?

Hahahahahahaha!  I see you just arrived on the planet!  Enjoy your stay!

Democrats hate nuclear--and oppose it whenever a utility proposes building a nuclear-powered facility--because the party's hidden rulers want to destroy the U.S. economy.  Of course they never admit that, instead claiming nuclear is way too dangerous, citizen!

Ask a Democrat how many Americans have been killed by commercial nuclear powerplants and they have no idea.  "Lots," but it's actually...zero.

Now consider "AI data-centers."  Just one can use as much electricity as a mid-size city, so when a region builds a lot of 'em, electricity bills skyrocket even more than under bribem.

Dems: "NOOooo, dat fake newz!  We investigated dat, an' it's a lie!" 

Really?  Because Henrico County, VA is reasonably close to DC, AI pushers have built 37 "data centers" there, and plan to build 17 more soon.  But don't worry, citizen: your electric bill will NOT rise, cuz...well, we Dems are smaaahht, an' we wud nevah have allowed deez to be built if we knew it wud cause your bills to rise, right?

On June 26, the county manager of Henrico County, Virginia, sent an email to thousands of county employees asking them to help conserve electricity. 

“Beginning July 1st, the rate we pay for electricity used in all county government and school facilities will increase dramatically — by 25%.

"We anticipate more rate increases for electricity in the years ahead.”

So where will they get the electricity to power the new data centers?

"Oh don' worry, citizen!  Duh owners gon' build new powerplants!  Of course it takes time to get permits an' environmental assessments befo' doze kin be built--maybe a decade--so meanwhile county officials say some of the new data centers may be temporarily powered by more than 300 diesel generators.

See, this is Dem reasoning (?) at its finest: we gon' bitch about powerplants that use natural gas or coal, or nuclear, an' we gon' bleat dat we iz reeeeally concerned about Grobul Worming due to CO2--but den' we gon' approve 300 diesel generators to power ouah faaaabulous new AI "data-centers"!

Think a few tens of thousands of dollars might have changed hands there?

Eh, maybe not, because Democrat pols don't take bribes.  Well, Hunty and the vegetable got tens of  millions of dollars from foreign government but those dozens of payments were definitely NOT bribes.  Really.  Jus' "consulting fees."  Or "investments."  Reeeally.

And pols in Henrico county say yew shouldn't fret about duh diesel generators cuz it's SO worth it, citizen, cuz duh county (i.e. us) gets mo' tax dollahs into ouah hot li'l hands, eh?

How soon people forget, eh? Attention span of weeks, if that

A few of you may have heard that New York gov Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept patients infected with duh Chyna virus.  Because almost all older people have weaker immune systems (so are more vulnerable to infection), Cuomo's order resulted in an estimated 35,000 deaths.  (The 17,000 figure below is way off.)

What you didn't hear about was that five other governors gave the same order--with the same result.  All were Democrats, cuz...um...dey way smaahhhtah den yew.

 

And no one made the connection, eh?

Democrat Socialists of America win 4-for-4. Dem party response?

Citizens, may I present...Gavin Newsom, the man the Democrats are all salivating over.  Fawning over.  Slobbering over, to be the next prezzy.  Cuz he's led his huge, resource-rich state to SO MANY "firsts," eh? 

 

Now here's the worry for Democrats like Newsom:  The Democrat Socialists of America are challenging regular Democrats for control of the Partei [sic].  This puts Dems in a bind:  If dey don't support socialism/communism, they'll get primaried--and recent election results say they'll lose to the DSA candidate.  Ooohhh.

And even if they manage to win the primary, they need duh votes of duh Socialists (communists) to win the general election.  Ooohhh again.  What to dooo, eh?

Are you smart enough to figure it out?  Sure ya are!  Cuz the number-one priority of pols is to be re-elected, always.  So ALL Dem pols will quietly promise to be good socialists.  Some will openly embrace socialism, others will do it quietly, only in small meeting organized by socialist supporters--with no reporters allowed, so non-DSA voters will never know about the candidate's suck-up to the DSA.  

Nice to have friends in the Media, which will nevah report that they were barred from attending the meeting, eh?  

So what does this mean to you, eh?

Nuffin'.  Well, aside from a barrage of platitudes and rationalizations from Dem politicians: "We Dems have a Big Tent, so we welcome a diverse [ooohh, nice] array of viewpoints!"  "We iz duh Big-Tent party!"

"Why yew skeered of socialism, citizen?  After all, ebrywun loves Social Security, right?  An' "social welfare"!  An' government-owned, government-run public housing has been a HUGE success!  So yew shouldn't fear socialism cuz yew akshully NEEDS it!  It beez unfair to force some pipo to work fo' a livin'!"

The result is as predictable as the sun rising.  Starting last week, Dem candidates known they can't win unless they support socialism/communism.  The challenge is to let the socialist know you support 'em, yet keep that knowledge hidden from non-DSA Dem voters.

But thanks to the corrupt, Democrat-fellating Media it's easy, since no one outside the DSA ever hears or sees about Dem candidates supporting socialism. 

Democrat-ruled legislature of California raises state tax on gas AGAIN

As ordered by the Democrat-ruled California legislature, that state just raised its state tax on gasoline.  It's now 63.5¢ per gallon.  But with all the other taxes--and cunningly named "fees" which are equivalent to taxes but cleverly not called that--drivers in that Dem-ruled shit-hole are paying $1.20 per gallon just in taxes and "fees."

Democrat voters and every single Mainstream Media propagandist: "Dis beez guuuud, citizen!  We gots t' have deez taxes an' fees on gas, cuz we do SO much total guuuud wif duh money raised!  Yep yep yep!"

"Dis crucial revenue enables ouah faaabulous skoolz to rent Gavin Newsom's wife's pro-trans videos!  An' fund dat faaabulous 'high-speed rail' dat will soon connect duh booming populations of Bakersfield with Merced.  Ouah experts say 50,000 people a day will ride it, cuz it'll cut travel time by 20 minutes compared to driving!

"But of course duh reeeel benefit iz dat it'll fight Grobal Worming Climate Change!  An' dat beez worth it no mattah how much it cost!

"Next up: paying millions to tear down a dam.  Cuz why would we wanna store water or prevent floods if it offends native tribes, eh?

"See, we Dems beez smaaht like dat!  Yew need to keep electing us to rule Cali, cuz all ouah policies are absolutely faaaabulous!

Deputy mayor of Paris blames U.S. for heat deaths in the EU

In the SOooo advanced nations of Europe, more people die each year from heat than the number of firearms deaths in the U.S.

There's a solution, of course: let people have air conditioning in their homes.  But EU rulers recoil in horror!  "NOOooo, we cain't allow dat!

Rational adults: "Why?  Cuz all high officials in the EU have it in their homes, and it's in all your government buildings.  So you must think it's a good thing for some pipo.  So why do many cities in your oh-so-sophisticated [sarc] "union" ban it in private homes?"

EU rulers: "Cuz a/c beez eeeeebil!  Duh devil's work--or would be if we believed he existed."

Rational adults: "Wait...if you claim it's eeeeebil, why do your rulers have it in their homes, and why do all government buildings have it?"

EU rulers: "Wow, look at the TIME!  I'd love to answer that but gotta go catch my government jet to get to the next international conference on Global Warming Climate Change!"

Cut to: Paris.  Office of the deputy mayor for egg production.  Just kidding--it's the "deputy mayor for international relations."

Ahh, you think I'm kidding.  Meet Audrey Pulvar, "deputy mayor for international relations" for Paris.

If you think that's absurd, consider that Paris has 36 deputy mayors.  And as you already guessed, every one of 'em is a batshit-crazy leftist--experts in taxing, RULING, and increasing the amount of their too-generous lifetime pensions after leaving office.  (Pensions?  For a fucking deputy mayor?  But of course, deplorable citizen.  "We are not savages!")

Other than those skills, they can't spell "cat."

But Audrey has one invaluable skill: she blamed the number of heat deaths in France on...wait for it...Americans.

Yes, you read that right.

Of course she didn't say that directly, because until recently no current politician ever says things directly, cuz it's too easy to refute their bullshit.  Instead she said this:

As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, [America] bears a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we in France are experiencing.  Your cities, which are 90 percent air conditioned, are not unrelated to this.”

Notice how brilliantly nuanced her statement was.  She claims that because U.S. cities are "90 percent air-conditioned," this increases the number of heat-caused deaths in France.  How?  Why, by worsening Grobul Worming, of course!  

If U.S. Democrats and socialists passed LAWS banning all a/c in U.S. homes (but of course allowing it in "public housing"--hmmm) and ordering all units removed, the next demand would be to ban gas-powered cars.  Then ban domestic air travel--take duh train instead, deplorable, like the sophisticates in Europe do!

Point is that NOTHING will please the Left/Dems for long.  Cuz if you haven't noticed yet, every surrender is always followed by the next demand.

Nevermind.  Democrats are too dumb to understand any of this--which is why the Democrat Socialists of America are taking over your party.  Utterly predictable, and I'm lovin' it.
