The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Actually, pretty light on policy.

There was another bit I liked: requiring AI data centers to generate their own power. That would be cheaper than subsidizing the existing utility companies to beef up their grid and generation capacity to meet the demand. Especially as I expect a lot of those data centers to be aborted, which would leave the utilities with a big investment in capacity that they no longer need. Used to be a day when a lot of factories generated their own power. The downside is the noise the neighbors would need to endure from gas turbines running 24/7. How loud is a turbine plant from a couple hundred yards away?
