A certain unemployed socialist bum has been running around Texas fearmongering about how “data centers will double your power bill!” (truth: they won’t).
In reality, Texas has it pretty awesome when it comes to electricity prices. We pay about 10 or 11 cents per kilowatt hour. I doubt Clayton Tucker even knows that because he lives with his parents and the MAN of the house (his dad) pays the bill with his Firefly paycheck. Clayton is unemployed, you see.
Here are some electricity prices from around the world:
United Kingdom: $0.34 per kWh
Germany: $0.38 to $0.43 per kWh
Italy: $0.39 to $0.42 per kWh
Ireland: $0.44 to $0.45 per kWh
Germany. LOL. Yet another reason they suck. Can you imagine if your power bill you bitch about in July and August was TRIPLE or QUADRUPLE what it is now? You’d drop a load in your pants.
[Weird how we have way more data centers than any other country YET our power prices are lower! We have TEN TIMES as many data centers as shitty Germany does (5400 versus 520) but their rates are FOUR TIMES HIGHER! Almost as if data centers don’t matter at all]
You know who DOES have it better than us? China. They pay about 8 cents per khw. You know why? Because they are throwing up coal and nuke plants all over the place. They stole our nuke tech decades ago and are now far ahead of us building advanced reactors (liquid sodium, etc) for about 70% less than we do.
Over here, we were busy listening to absolute imbeciles like Clayton Tucker, AOC, Ed Markey, Joe Biden and Al Gore – so we wasted hundreds of billions on fucking PINWHEELS instead of reliable, cheap nuclear.
China’s Advanced Nuclear Efforts Are Pushing Frontiers
So a few years ago, morons gave bad advice about power generation and now we are losing to China. Today, those same morons are giving bad advice on data centers so we can lose to China once again! Why ANYONE listens to shitlibs is beyond my comprehension.
