🔥Thomas Massie "single-handedly" killed a bill "granting immunity to data center developers for any harm they cause your community" "Both sides of the aisle were paid to pass this bill" "That was going to happen 2 weeks ago, and Thomas Massie killed that bill" "There is nobody that believes that a data center should be able to build across the street, destroy my home values, destroy my water table, maybe poison my children, and I shouldn't be able to sue to hold them accountable" This clip of Tiffany Cianci (@TheVinoMom) is taken from an episode of the Shannon Joy Show (@ShannonJoyRadio) posted to X on May 15, 2026.

🦔NV Energy is ending its power supply agreement with Lake Tahoe by May 2027, citing data center demand in northern Nevada. 49,000 California residents who get their electricity through Liberty Utilities, which sources 75% of its power from NV Energy, now have one year to find a new supplier. NV Energy's planning documents show twelve Nevada data center projects could drive 5,900 megawatts of new demand by 2033, and Amazon recently signed a deal with the utility to deploy 700 megawatts of new generation for Reno data center operations. A March 2026 Gallup poll found seven in ten Americans oppose AI data centers in their communities. My Take I have covered Saline Township, Tucson, Fayetteville, Kenya, and Maine, and Lake Tahoe is where the story gets ugly in a new way. A utility company can now cut off 49,000 residents to free up capacity for data centers across the state line, and the regulatory structure offers no clear recourse because no single agency oversees the chain from generation to customer bill. NV Energy claims the timing is unrelated to the AI boom, but signing 700-megawatt contracts with Amazon for Reno data centers in the same window makes that argument hard to take seriously. Lake Tahoe residents pay California rates on a Nevada grid governed by Nevada regulators who answer to Nevada industrial customers first. Nobody designed the 2009 agreement around the possibility that hyperscalers would show up and absorb the entire region's surplus capacity, and the cross-border structure makes it almost impossible for California regulators to intervene now. Liberty has one year to find a new supplier meeting California's renewable requirements, and the Greenlink West transmission project that might help comes online the same month the current contract ends. Bipartisan opposition to data centers has now reached 70% nationally, and Lake Tahoe is exactly why. The political backlash is becoming the binding constraint that the financing pressure and grid limits already implied. Hedgie🤗
