I think this is an unfair article, and it reads like someone who’s obsessed with right-wing talking points substituting their political allies and enemies with Texas and California.

The real relevant section is the one right before you posted the chart. Texas is bringing people building data centers, Bitcoin mines, and has a high demand for air conditioning, therefore it has a massive power demand that California doesn’t have. It’s unreasonable to expect Texas to compete with California on a metric of Clean GWh per Total GWh when California has less than half the power demand. The fossil fuels infrastructure is already established so of course it is going to be relied on in a place like Texas to support their ventures into data centers etc.

I think a better perspective is to notice how, despite a reliance on free-market forces (and as another commenter mentioned, a relationship between politicians and oil companies) Texas’ clean energy scene has grown to be the biggest in the country. It clearly indicates that there is an apolitical nature to the inevitability of clean energy. Anyway I prefer that conversation to getting swept up in whatever Matt Walsh has to say.

Ah, that makes more sense thanks

So I am uninterested in them, but we are disinterested in each other? Do I have that more or less right?

May I ask where this is from?

Very cool. I’ve been a Wu-Tang fan for a while but I had no idea RZA wqs advocating for these things.

It’s not the wild west anymore. The politics are bad, but people are mostly the same as anywhere else. Maybe you should visit.

Terry Pratchett! The Discworld books have kept me busy for years now and I don’t even consider myself much of a reader.

Same struggle. Are you referencing a specific instance and if so can you link an article or something?

If you didn’t play any sports in your teens and 20’s then you shouldn’t take part in this conversation.

I think it’s as long as more eggs hatch than birds die, it works.

Unfortunately I do love those guys when they’re not drowning our discord call with “RANGE!!! MAGE!!! POT NOW POT NOW!!!” so I will have to decline your offer. I wish you all the best in your pursuits.

Dude I just can’t get my friends to do anything other than OSRS
