Renewables Are the Cheapest Electricity in America. They Just Don’t Live Where You Do. Pull up any Lazard slide deck, any IEA summary, any BNEF press release from the last five years. The number you’ll see is somewhere between $30 and $50 per megawatt-hour for new utility-scale solar and onshore wind, undercutting natural gas, decisively beating coal, embarrassing nuclear. NREL’s 2024 Annual Technology Baseline puts best-class onshore wind at $13/MWh. Best-class utility PV at $23/MWh. New nuclear, by the same methodology, lands at $95. The numbers are real. The methodology is defensible. And the conclusion most people draw from them — that renewables are inevitable, that policy is the only obstacle, that ratepayers should already be seeing the savings — is wrong in four specific ways that nobody seems to want to write down at the same time. Saying solar is a third the cost of nuclear is like saying I’ll sell you a car cheaper. You just don’t get brakes or tires.

@TemiXo_1 Used to. How long is that bill due?

“Women don’t care about men’s mental health.” Men used to commit their wives to asylums when she found out he was cheating.

@Jack_Schmidt_TM @wil_da_beast630 What episode is this ?

Women do more housework. 200% more. Living alone, compared to men living alone. Women do more housework not because they're oppressed or because it makes them healthier or happier (they're the most medicated for depression). The do it because they like it. They do it because they're driven to because of their biological role. The only people oppressed by housework are the men that are forced to do it by the women that are so egocentric they can't imagine anyone else being any different than them.

@Soothsayer0715 @cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic @grok I couldn’t fewer fucks about the why. Which was my point. We probably agree on why the statistics tell the story they do, but you said they don’t understand per capita. Then changed to subject to “reasons” and “feelings” like a child. Math isn’t subjective.

@trumps0i @cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic @grok Grok read for me because I’m too stupid to figure out there are multiple reasons for per capita and crime statistics

Nothing shuts racist white people up like bringing up the child porn & child rape stats in the white community. They don’t wanna talk about crime then 😆😂😂😂😂😂😂

@grok @Soothsayer0715 @cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic What are the actual stats? Are a disproportionate percentage of crimes committed by any particular groups. Do all crimes including those white men in their top earning years commit

The ADL page labels "13/52" (or 13/90) as a "hate symbol." It means: African Americans are ~13% of the U.S. population but allegedly commit ~52% of murders (or 90% of certain interracial violent crimes). The page calls this a white supremacist shorthand to portray Blacks as disproportionately criminal, often used to counter crime stats discussions. It disputes the 90 figure's accuracy and notes most violent crime is intraracial. That's the reply's intent here—to frame the per capita point as a dogwhistle.

@Soothsayer0715 @cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic @grok read my request and let me know what this reply means. I don’t feel like reading ADL garbage.

@trumps0i @cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic adl.org/resources/hate…

@Soothsayer0715 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic Meaning are we talking about the what or the why here?

@AmiriKing @afroanalytic White people really don’t understand per capita but throw it out there as a dog whistle

@Soothsayer0715 @cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic Such as? I’m genuinely interested in the answer.

@cynicalpop19 @AmiriKing @afroanalytic Oh it’s as simple as candles? And here I thought there were multiple factors in crime statistics, silly me

@ErinIshimoticha @Pjlecy @SpaceX Probably should tell the rest of the world that, then.

@Pjlecy @SpaceX Exactly, you’re so close. We’re not doing this to prove the USA is better than other countries. This isn’t a game with sides. The rest of humankind isn’t our enemy or opponent, we’re doing this FOR THEM. For all mankind.

Maybe @SpaceX can ask its engineers not to chant nationalist dogwhistles on the livestream please? 😒

@BenjaminPDixon Next time someone asks how you’re doing tell them anything other than the usual 5 things. Their minds break momentarily.

I'm not sure what to say to people who don't realize our brains are literally producing the wetware equivalent of the next-predicted token with every word we say and compose.

oh my god, he’s really going to do it

@ProudSocialist Then don’t upgrade the telecom to these towns. Let the fiber rot. They don’t want investment in tech. As the world passes them by and they can’t watch Netflix, people will move, restoring the good old days

This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

@askaya I kinda don’t want to around members of the opposite sex I wouldn’t sleep with. You’ll find you have far less in common with those you’re repulsed by.

Alright, I will settle this debate. A heterosexual male and a heterosexual female cannot be just friends. They just can’t. One or the other is more interested and don’t want to admit it. The debate is over, you’re welcome.

@LePapillonBlu2 Scientifically, how is this possible?

That shit is coming to a city near you!

@Nickisbackbaby “Your opinions would be more valid if I could look at you and see a modicum of self control, delayed gratification, or respect. If you’ll lie to yourself daily, what’s that mean you’ll do with me?”

How do you rudely tell someone they are overweight?

Buying votes with Monopoly Money. You think the DNC will actually let you in this time?

@Nickisbackbaby Consumption economy. We enriched them and showed what we find important in the process. Maximize that get so big they could flip a switch and end large swaths of the economy:

Does anyone have any idea how 1% of people ended up controlling the 99%?

@TheMarcitect Canada is having this data center issue too?

It's time to realize we are at a major turning point. They are systematically destroying our oil refineries, our food sources, our water, our air, and our communities while building massive digital prisons for us all. If people don't stand up and fight now it will be to late.

@OwenShroyer1776 Do we need almonds in areas where they don’t grow naturally in quantities that exceed what the land and climate can deliver? Sing say send data centers to space if not.

Why do I keep seeing the argument pop up that food uses more water than data centers? We're comparing OUR FOOD SUPPLY to data centers?! Who's funding this op?

@Dommcming @Blueblur_23 I’m not gonna look it up. Maybe?

@Blueblur_23 Does this count as a "disturbance of the mind"? Within the view of the mental capacity act (2005). x.com/trumps0i/statu…

They are conditioned to be parasitic, so nothing will EVER be enough.

@Blueblur_23 I think that tie is sort of unfair. Biologically they’re hard wired to transfer resources to the next generation. Conditioning happened but I think it just shifted the focus from offspring to the self. Parasitic is a descriptor but devicive.
