To me that sounds like nearly 50,000 people that have good reason to go burn down data centers.
I have learned recently that historically the time gap between missing 9 meals and cannibalism is way fucking closer than we think. Just pray that people don’t go hungry, everything falls apart very fast.
Burn coal, Serfs! Your techlords demand your resources.
Isn’t their town not incorporated because they wanted to save money on taxes?
Yeah I’m confused here. Seems like the local utility was supposed to have started figuring this by 2015 but they didn’t do anything so NV agreed to another 5 years. Then nothing was done so they agreed to 5 more years. Nothing done locally again and now NV are going to oblige with their contract. 17 years is a long time to do nothing then blame the other guy
NV Energy sold its California electric assets to Liberty in 2009 and agreed to keep supplying power temporarily. That arrangement was extended in 2015, again in 2020, and once more in late 2025, and each time because Liberty had not yet secured an independent supply
California needs to be self sufficient.
Cascadia is the answer.
That won’t happen with its environmental laws unless solar takes over completely.
California needs to be self sufficient - so we need the resources of our northern states as well
Grow better crops instead of water-demanding cash crops like almonds and pistachios. The region could 100% sustain itself if it wasn’t propping up the rest of the country.
Americans still learning that their nation is a business.
Solution is bottle of vodka, styrofoam and a rug.
That’s not going to do anything against a data center.
If this comes to pass … time to destroy the grid, at least near the data center.
Vote for Trump… Get fucked by his buddies.
How much mega corporations and the government give a fuck about people is becoming visceral these days.
There’s an active agenda to simply exterminate humanity, replace us with machines, and there is no resistance.
It’s almost like the corps are controlled by machines already!!
They were the original paperclip maximizers, each human does their own logic, no need for real AI.
What is wrong with Americans? Why do they tolerate this?
We don’t, but nothing we do matters, so it happens anyway
That’s actually a lot of crazy shit going on right now that the media keeps ignoring.
It is mattering.
i’m just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire when i get rich i don’t want to pay taxes
It kind of looks like their politicians don’t give a crap what the little people think. Likely money involved, I’d wager.
As an American, I think about this graph way too often:
Basically, yeah. Ideally, as public support rises, the pass rate would also rise. And inversely, as support drops, the pass rate would also drop. That flat ~30% pass rate regardless of public support means that the bottom 90% literally isn’t represented at all. Their needs and wishes literally are not factored into the bill’s chances of passing at all. Meanwhile, the wealthy have an extreme amount of influence on whether or not a bill will pass.It’s what they voted for. Leopards are getting full of faces all across America.
Can confirm I certainly did not vote for this shit
Because any public attempt of resistance is going to be met with violence. Our government has stated they plan to conduct drone warfare on us. Don’t get me wrong, personally I know what happens when there’s no resistance (they’ll just kill you anyway) but for the majority it’s usually a combination of distance (this place is huge), poverty and not wanting to be canon fodder for something they likely had nothing to do with.
Remember guys, the US is 3000 miles wide. That’s 3 days of straight driving one side to the other. 5 if you sleep.
BUT whilst Tahoe is 5 days away from the capital of the country, it’s only 3 hours from the capital of California. Also let’s not forget Lake Tahoe is the land of the lesser rich. Even a shack is worth 3 mil up there
Yeah, there are lots of memes about Europeans coming to visit America, and expecting to be able to visit New York, Seattle, the Grand Canyon, and Los Angeles in a single week. Because in Europe, you can literally just pop over to France for lunch, because it’s only like 45 minutes away. I drive 45 minutes to work every single day, in each direction.
It’s always a little bit funny (and a little bit sad) seeing a European posting about “why Americans haven’t lit the White House on fire yet?” It’s because 90% of Americans would need to drive for like a week just to reach the capitol. And even then, you’d only get the privileged few who were able to schedule time off of work for it.
This means American protests tend to be very localized. Maybe Dallas has a protest in Texas, but that is easily ignored by federal lawmakers because Dallas is like 1300 miles away. Hell, even state lawmakers won’t care about a protest in Dallas, because Dallas is like 200 miles away from its own state capitol.
have you seen who they vote for? this is what they want
thanks for letting us know you have absolutely no understanding of the american election system.
confidently, too.
We don’t have any actual representative democracy, due to all our extreme mobility. Cars have killed us. I’ve lived in so many of the U.S. States and it’s just crashingly laughingly suck.
Too busy scrolling social media filled with rage bait and propaganda
We deserve this.
the kids deserve this too I guess? and everyone that is protesting? do the innocents chucked in the back of ICE vans deserve it as well?
speak for yourself.
Hard to tell from the article how likely this is to happen. Their legal situation is very complicated and it sounds like they are still trying to figure out what can and cannot be done.
Supremely Court Ruling: The data center is supposed to open in one month, its not enough time to properly halt this plan now, so we rule in favor of the data center and electricity provider. Go find power elsewhere for your homes.

I did think the lead was something about permanent vacation in a planet is 50,000 Lake Tahoe’s and committing crimes against grammar, and crimes against children, who boy glad that wasnt real
