The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But what is the added stress on the electrical grid going to do to our rates?

We ratepayers will pay for the added capacity, up front, because DTE is guaranteed a profit. iirc, ratepayers in Georgia had to pay, before Votgle 3 and 4 ever came on line. Then the data center goes BK, so DTE has a lot of surplus capacity. And guess who gets to pay for that? The water should not be an issue, They should be able to recirculate the water, unless that is a "burden" that hurts their profits. Keep in mind, water bottling companies pull a million or more gallons from the Michigan aquifer, per day, for only a $200/year permit payment to the state, because "must not burden the JCs".

And that definition takes no account of the number of lives jobs, and land that it increasingly destroys.

We Proles are expendable meat, just like the Native Americans, who used to populate this area.
