If you have a ‘smart’ thermostat they will turn it down for you.
Not if you hook it up to a resistor and park a normal thermostat next to it…
Smart thermostats not mandatory yet where I live, but I have made preparations. >:D
You could put the thermostat in your refrigerator.
Will the smart fridge allow that?
Turn off your air conditioning.
No charging your EV.
Shut off your electric water heater.
No running your microwave or dishwasher.
Only one 60w LED light allowed.
No hair dryers or vacuum cleaners.
No charging rechargeable devices.
Who needs these massive data collection centers when everyone is sitting in their 8′ x 8′ concrete block apartment, in the dark, eating zee bugs, and unable to go anywhere? What data is there to collect?
Impure thoughts, of course. Somebody might not be thanking Big Brother loud enough for those bugs.
Once they get going, there’s no bottom for those people. They will hit bedrock and start blasting to find new depths to sink to.
I think we should be looking at helping Big Brother assume room temperature permanently.

Come on guys, freezing in the dark is the ever shoulder shrugging, oh well, Canuck’s favorite sport…at least there no church to go to with the religion of climate change…not yet anyway.
Turn down your thermostats so we can accumulate enough carbon credits so our PM travels south this winter or more importantly, he meets with a delegation for yet again another climate conference…
The church is at the Pro Choice centre. Services held daily for 8-5 pm.
“While there were no recorded deaths following the meltdown, the incident dealt lasting damage to the public perception of nuclear energy. ”
Jane Fonda had a lot to do with that “damage” with “The China Syndrome”
Always wondered about the timing of all that. Film took on the order of 24 months to make and the “accident” happens just as it is released? Did someone just want the US nuclear industry shut down?
As a 12yo living downwind of TMI just outside of Philly, I will always vividly remember the local stations covering this like it was only a matter of time until we were all dead.
I liked Jane fonda in Barbarella better.
PG&E runs constant advertisements… that I pay-for with usurious multi-tiered energy rates … scolding me to CONSERVE energy. Constant. Scolding. Why? So they don’t have to build new power plants to meet the needs of the people. The “plan” is to curtail your energy use – period. To freeze and swelter you into compliance.
But would they DARE scold Big Tech? Don’t be silly.
Data centers are more important than humans apparently. But on the bright side, the demand of the data centers is spurring the construction of new, high tech nuclear power plants:
Perhaps there will be some trickle down benefit to the serf population…
Boring comment as usual.
Parasite alert
Meltdown inbound for windmill and solar panel stocks.
((While there were no recorded deaths following the meltdown, the incident dealt lasting damage to the public perception of nuclear energy.))
TMI was another one of those “never let a crisis go to waste” type moments. The anti-nuclear crowd and their media cohorts blew the entire event out of proportion. There were safety mechanisms in place in the event that this very specific incident occurred. They worked.
This is a weird precedent. A corporation purchases a source of power. Only they can use that source. I can think of disturbing ways this precedent can be abused, especially as the brown outs increase in certain states.
That it’s 3 Mile Island that’ll be exclusively for Bill Gates & Microsoft is the tell.
Outstanding.
“ Experts speaking previously with Popular Science doubt existing renewable sources like solar and wind can generate enough power fast enough to meet all that new demand.”
Wow. Really? You mean those newfangled roads embedded with tiny solar panels aren’t going to do the trick?
I’m guessing one of the ‘experts’ was Captain Obvious.
He should speak out more often.
If you could put desperate on a scale they are reopening three mile island. That is the state of the electrical grid.
Makes sense to regurgitate power from a shutdown plant, no?
Thomas Sowell mentioned TMI in a speech some years ago. He points out the risk equivalent where living 50 years in proximity to TMI is the same risk as canoeing for 6 minutes.

Thanks to FILTHY LIBERALS, TMI identifies as a brand new Nuclear Plant. Chill bish
