France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education.
Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.

This is a great example of where reality is more nuanced than headlines…only 4% of data center capacity currently powered by BTM solutions (disclaimer, cannot independently verify the accuracy of this info)
“Currently, only 4% of total data center capacity is powered by BTM, though 19% of the capacity under construction will use BTM, and 42% of projects in the pipeline will use BTM.”
AI BEHIND-THE-METER UPDATE:
• BTM projects added 29 GW to the pipeline in September, nearly double the 15 GW added in August.
• Nscale (2.3 GW) was the most notable contributor, with hyperscalers also adding 1 GW in total capacity.
• The 15.4 GW of capacity under construction remained essentially flat M/M.
• BTM projects accounted for 56% of the additions to September’s pipeline, above the 42% YTD average.
• BTM projects remain an elevated proportion of stranded capacity (25%, up from 16% in May).
• From an operator type perspective, developers are by far the most reliant on BTM (60% of their pipeline), followed by neoclouds (58%).
• Currently, only 4% of total data center capacity is powered by BTM, though 19% of the capacity under construction will use BTM, and 42% of projects in the pipeline will use BTM.

Seeing how hard it has become to build a data center in the last 12 months, imagine the future challenge of building a small nuclear reactor anywhere near civilization

I know we've all got axes to grind but if you want to see the permitting reform bill pass (I do), the stakeholder entity you need to worry about is the investor-owned utility lobby whose monopolies are most threatened by it, and who rarely takes an L - not some enviro NGOs.

The Democrat energy and climate agenda is shameless.
They rely on hydrocarbons every day, yet demonize the very energy sources that power their lives and everyone else’s.
Simple facts and a powerful reminder of the benefits of hydrocarbons
A gallon of jet fuel contains about 34 kWh of energy and weighs about 6 lb.
Whereas a lithium-ion battery storing the same energy weighs about 250 lb.
That density gap defines modern systems.
Aviation runs on jet fuel, shipping runs on bunker fuel, agriculture runs on diesel.
Nobody wages war over solar panels and turbines.
Liquid fuels deliver high energy in compact form, batteries do not.
This is simple physics, not "climate denial."

Milton Friedman: “The problem with government is the absence of any mechanism for recognizing errors. What the private system abounds in is survival of the fittest.”
“What the governmental system abounds in is expansion of the mistakes. There is no mechanism for eliminating governmental agencies which are no longer needed or have behaved perversely.”

The Bible told us where Noah's Ark landed. 4,000 years later, they're drilling right there.
Genesis 8:4: "The ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat."
This week, scientists started drilling into a 515-foot, boat-shaped formation in the mountains of Ararat in eastern Turkey. Radar scans show angular walls, a central corridor, and three levels underground. Genesis 6:16 says the ark had three decks.
The right place. The right shape. The right size. The right number of decks.
Skeptics said the Hittites never existed, until their capital was dug up. They said Pontius Pilate was a legend, until his name turned up carved in stone. They said King David was a myth, until an ancient inscription named "the house of David."
Every time, the ground ends up agreeing with the Bible.
The Ark was real. The Flood was real. God's Word was always true.

I’ve thought about this a lot lately as I see more and more public figures using profanity to make a point. It seems like they’re trying to demonstrate passion or attract a younger audience. Whatever the case, I think it lessens the impact of what they’re trying to say. There is a time and a place for profanity and it isn’t in public or in professional conversation. It is indeed the “parlance of the fool.”

Localized thermal generation is a better investment for Texas' future grid reliability. Transmission matters, but it is only becoming so critical because tax subsidies and overinvestment in intermittent wind and solar have so heavily distorted our energy market. If the free market, not tax subsidies, dictated which forms of generation were economically viable, we wouldn’t be here. @TheTexanNews

Texas has a strange contradiction unfolding with power and electrification policies.
Under SB 6, a new 75+ MW data center or industrial facility can be required to pay major interconnection costs, post financial security, and make long-term commitments on infrastructure costs so ordinary Texans aren’t left holding the bag.
Meanwhile, the Texas PUC, ERCOT, and Oncor is planning roughly $15 billion of new high voltage transmission infrastructure into West Texas, to support the Permian Basin Reliability Plan from 2023, which is driven heavily by oil & gas electrification. Much of the roughly $15 billion cost will be “socialized” across ERCOT retail ratepayers statewide through increases on electric bills over years, further driving up power prices.
Oilfield electric load is often spread across hundreds of wells, compressors, plants and production facilities, many sites individually below the 75 MW SB6 threshold, but collectively much higher per customer when aggregated.
Texas policy makers are telling one large power user (data centers and industrials): “Pay for the power infrastructure you require.”
While effectively telling another (oil and gas): “Spread your electric load across many sites and Texas citizens (rate payers) will finance the grid build out for you.”
Perhaps it’s time for the Texas PUC, legislature, and elected leaders to sit down and address the discrepancy.

The Permian Basin is doing just fine making power locally and onsite/behind-the-meter, and affordably. Oil and gas production in the region is still growing and electricity is not a legit bottleneck to growth, and won’t be.
Crazy
In 2013, the Obama Administration offered “Housing First” as the means to end homelessness in 10 years. Over a decade later, homelessness is more prevalent than ever, and taxpayers have been financing ever-increasing funding to programs that are failing. texaspolicy.com/homelessness…
