Want to get a sense of how bad the Trump economy is getting? Bean producers are now marketing "new recipes inspired by cooking strategies from the Depression" which ofc @axios.com is hyping as a "bean boom." 😏 www.axios.com/newsletters/...
"Grocery prices continue to squeeze budgets. But one New Orleans company is seeing sales growth: Camellia Beans. As American consumers look for affordable options, Camellia is creating one-and-done bean seasonings and even experimenting with Depression-era recipes, Axios New Orleans' Chelsea Brasted writes. 📈 Zoom in: The price of beef hit a historic high of $6.32 per pound in September. A pound of dried beans was just $1.63. "As the economy goes down, bean consumption goes up," says Camellia Beans CEO Vince Hayward. "You eat more beans when you have less money. That's a life imperative." The company recently introduced its new "Infusions" line, a single seasoning packet to make "a great pot of beans," Hayward says. His team developed new recipes inspired by cooking strategies from the Depression."

Bloomberg has upped its projections of data centre demand in the US by 36% (!!!!!)

And most new projects are popping up next to old projects: meaning the local effects will be even worse

about.bnef.com/insights/cle...

www.semafor.com/article/12/0...
a cahrt showing projections The News The northeastern US — home to the world’s highest concentration of data centers — faces an even larger wave of incoming power demand than previously anticipated, new figures indicate. That’s driving an escalating dispute among the companies that operate the region’s grids, one in which federal regulators could be forced to intervene. US data centers will require 106 gigawatts of power generating capacity by 2035, BloombergNEF analysts said on Monday. That’s up from about 40 gigawatts today, and 36% more than what BloombergNEF predicted in its last forecast in April, as more — and bigger — data center projects are announced. What’s remarkable about the latest forecast is not just that it’s higher, BloombergNEF senior researcher Nathalie Limandibhratha said, but that data center developers show little sign of branching out from the regions where they are already most highly concentrated. Half of the anticipated new demand will be in the PJM Interconnection — the country’s largest regional power market by capacity and already the epicenter of data center growth — which includes New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. “The hotspots are getting hotter,” Limandibhratha said. And that’s going to push an already-simmering conflict within PJM — over how to allow more data centers without unduly raising prices and blackout risks for everyone else — to a boil. “Right now, supply is somewhat keeping up with the pace of demand. But it’s really going to put a strain on the grid.”

Turkeys are flavorless and dry, and they want to live. This Thanksgiving, @mbolotnikova.bsky.social encourages you to challenge the status quo and embrace plant-based alternatives, have conversations about ethical food choices, and create more sustainable and compassionate traditions.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world." Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

Caltrain’s new electric trains are designed to recuperate energy when breaking. The agency made a deal to sell that energy back to the local power supplier, which will net the agency millions of dollars in annual revenues.
Caltrain electrified trains return power to grid, offsetting energy costs
For decades, Caltrain has been known for what it takes off the roads. Now, it's being rewarded for what it puts back into the power grid.
