Apparently Comrade Clayton is not the only one piling on data centers. EVERY SINGLE SHITLIB is making it the center point of their campaigns. At least these other dummies are actually running for the Texas legislature – the ONLY governmental body actually empowered to do anything about it.
Which begs the question: if EVERY shitib running for the Texas House and Senate is already babbling non-stop about data centers, why does Clayton Tucker (who would have ZERO power over data centers if elected) keep talking about it 98% of the time?
[Hint: to raise money and because he has nothing else to offer.]
Even that traitorous slob Sid Miller FINALLY ADMITTED that Ag Commissioner can DO NOTHING about data centers and it is entirely in the hands of the legislature and the governor:
Why would Sid Miller “call on the Governor and legislature” to do something if Sid Miller had all these awesome powers to stop data centers himself? Oh right. Because he has zero powers. Which I’ve been saying like a broken record for several months now.
Sid Miller only cares about any of this because he’s trying to get back at Abbott for tossing him under the bus in his primary against Nate Sheets. Sid Miller cares about data centers about as much as I do.
Here is a typical uneducated and retarded woman running for the Texas House. She is outright lying and telling us the grid “is at a breaking point!”
The problem for this idiot woman is that ANYONE can see the current supply and demand on the ERCOT dashboard any time they want. The dashboard tells a different story. It is a story of PLENTIFUL supply even now in July:
Since shitlibs suck at math and charts, I’ll decipher this for you: just for tomorrow there is 135.5 GIGWATTS available and only 82.9 gigawatts is projected to be needed. Ergo, there is a massive cushion of 52 GIGAWATTS.
How much power is 52 gigawatts? Enough to power over 37 MILLION HOMES!
But yeah, keep telling me how the grid is about to break, you absolute mook. This chick is clearly brain dead. Then again, what do you expect from a woman who brags about being a single mom, has never had a real job in her life and who takes “girl boss” photos like this one:
Fat, dumb and clueless is no way to go through life, Amy.
Since the Texas grid is perfectly fine and has power to spare, conniving scumbags like Clayton Tucker are forced to point to shitlib blue states where power prices have climbed and then blame it all on data centers so they can say “that will happen here!”…ignoring the role that the shitlib love of green energy played in the problem.
A lot of people WAY smarter than Clayton Tucker have already crunched the numbers. Here is an article just from today!
Higher Electricity Rates In Blue States Linked To Renewable Energy Policies
A new analysis by Always On Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research concludes that renewable energy mandates and net-zero policies have contributed to higher electricity prices in states that adopted them, while states with fewer climate-related mandates generally have lower electricity costs.
Whoops. As usual, moron liberals took a huge shit on the floor (pushed terrible green energy policies) and when that shit on the floor starts to stink (power prices up bigly) and people are looking for who did it (complaining about high bills), the scumbag liberals slink away from their own shit pile and say “the data center did it!” like a lying six-year-old child.
Here is more proof that the power rate hysteria is a pile of nonsense. ANOTHER article from today!
Rates will DROP by 1.3% for residential PGE customers July 8, the utility said. Commercial customers will experience a 2.1% drop and industrial customers will experience a 1.4% decrease. Meanwhile, rates for data centers will go up 29%.
Wow! Clayton Tucker wrong yet again! That’s only happened about 42 times before!
Add in the fact that Texas is building power plants left and right to increase supply even MORE, and I will gladly place a $10,000 bet that if you bookmark this page and come back here in five years, power prices will NOT have come close to doubling. I doubt they’ll even be up 10% by then.
How about it, Clayton? Want to put your money where your filthy commie mouth is? Or are you fully aware you’re selling a line of shit just to grift money off of old ladies?
You giant pussy.
