I was alarmed when I saw this trend in electricity prices.
I bet you will be too.
Data centers are causing big increases in energy demand, but it's our bills that are rising the most. Seems unfair, eh?

If you wonder how Germans in the 1930s and 40s couldn't see what was going on around them, AND you think the insurrection wasn't violent and seditious, YOU are the answer.

Enraging.
It is hard to overstate how wildly inappropriate it is to replace a National Climate Assessment--A process normally involving hundreds scientists, significant public and expert input, and US government-wide coordination--with five climate skeptics using AI.

It’s the gold standard of US climate research. Contrarians could write the next one.
Researchers who have downplayed the threat of global warming have been asked to author the next National Climate Assessment.
