The Eastern Power Grid Will Run Out of Emergency Peak Power in June, 2027
The next logical step in local control: joining the effort to get local control of our electric grid via a locally elected electric cooperativeThe next logical step in local control: joining the effort to get local control of our electric grid via a locally elected electric cooperative
Many townships like Allendale Township are moving towards the assertion of their local control rights of the electric grid, such as via a temporary moratorium on data centers and solar farms. The next logical step is to join in the effort to get local control of our electric grid via a locally elected electric cooperative […]
How Consumers Energy’s peak pricing has significantly evolved for the worse to accommodate the misguided Net Zero agendaHow Consumers Energy’s peak pricing has significantly evolved for the worse to accommodate the misguided Net Zero agenda
Consumers Energy’s Summer Time‑of‑Use (T‑U) Rate — which includes peak pricing — has evolved significantly since the early 2000s, reflecting both regulatory changes and rising electricity costs, to accommodate the misguided Net Zero agenda. Pre‑2000 contextBefore the 2000s, Michigan’s electricity market was still largely regulated, with fewer time‑of‑use programs and more uniform pricing. Consumers Energy, as a […]
Technology can eliminate almost all real pollutant emissions and byproducts from coal plants like the Campbell, and CO2 is not a pollutant at allTechnology can eliminate almost all real pollutant emissions and byproducts from coal plants like the Campbell, and CO2 is not a pollutant at all
This explains how pollutant emissions are now curtailed: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=980602561603149&set=a.114169568246457 Grimes carbon technology can virtually eliminate it:
Data centers can be built that are no more noisy or polluting than a regular office building, and this is the standard which should be required in Ottawa CountyData centers can be built that are no more noisy or polluting than a regular office building, and this is the standard which should be required in Ottawa County
It is entirely possible to construct a data center that is as quiet as a standard office building. Doing so requires aggressive noise mitigation techniques. [1, 2, 3] To achieve an office-level noise profile (\(\sim45-55 \text{ dB}\)), builders must incorporate specialized design and engineering: [1] Generator Mufflers: Equipping emergency backup diesel generators with hospital-grade sound […]
