@UNECE You don’t need power, money, or influence to stand with the voiceless. You only need one thing: to be human. When others suffer, silence is not an option. #HumanRights #StandWithTheVoiceless #BlueRevolution

@UNECE #BergedNhamedu stands where others stay silent. #BlueRevolution speaks for the voiceless, the forgotten and the oppressed. Now it’s your turn: Speak up, stand with the voiceless .Demand justice. DO not stay silent. #BergedNhamedu #HumanRights #BlueRevolution

@UNECE Renewables can't provide reliable baseline dispachable power now. Let alone when AI & data centers come on line. Bill Gates has changed his tune on electricity generation now USA 2024. Wind turbines killed 700,000 birds while solar killed 300,000 birds. Source Electroverse

@UNECE What is your problem with data centers? Do you understand that your comrades want to digitize everything? Or are you just against private data centers? Get out of our lives since you f..king hate our guts for not wanting to be your dependents and slaves.

@UNECE The UN has failed humanity, your original mission until you decided to destroy capitalism and western civilization. I don’t understand why you spend more energy on f..king with us instead of showing your capabilities to help humanity to be self reliant. I truly think it is a scam

Impact After Term | 09 : Special Initiatives of the Finance Department | 03 : Litigation Risk Management System Public finance management is not limited to budgeting, revenue mobilisation, and expenditure control. It also requires identifying and mitigating risks that could impose significant financial liabilities on the Government in the future. When the DMK Government assumed office in 2021,Tamil Nadu was facing numerous high-risk litigations involving taxation, land acquisition, personnel-related matters, and procurement disputes, many of which carried the potential to impose substantial financial burdens on the State Recognising the need for a more structured approach, Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) announced the creation of a Litigation Risk Management System in the 2021-22 Budget to proactively identify, monitor, and manage cases with significant fiscal implications for the Government. As part of this initiative, the Government constituted a high-level Litigation Advisory and Oversight Committee (LAOC) under the chairmanship of Justice K. Kannan, former Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, along with experts in direct taxation, indirect taxation, civil litigation, public finance, and legal affairs. The system introduced a coordinated framework for identifying High Risk Litigations, providing strategic legal guidance, strengthening inter-departmental coordination, and monitoring cases through a dedicated High-Risk Litigation window within the Integrated Court Case Monitoring System (ICCMS). Within its first year, the Committee conducted 14 meetings and provided guidance on 26 high-risk cases across 14 Government departments. The initiative subsequently expanded, with 37 high-risk litigations across 15 departments receiving strategic guidance, while 88 high-risk cases across 10 departments are currently being monitored under the system. More than a legal reform, the Litigation Risk Management System represented an important institutional reform in public finance management, helping the Government anticipate potential liabilities, reduce fiscal risks, and strengthen long-term financial sustainability. — Admin Team

🇨🇦 greatest economic risk is not a short recession but lasting damage. Economist John Drummond warns that weak productivity, record deficits, and rising trade uncertainty with the 🇺🇸 threaten long term growth. With roughly three quarters of 🇨🇦 merchandise exports tied to one market, even uncertainty alone can stall investment. If export capacity is lost, the damage is structural, lower growth, higher permanent unemployment, and less room to fund public services. Young 🇨🇦 are already feeling the impact through weaker job prospects and housing that remains out of reach. Ignoring these warnings does not make the risk disappear. It only makes the consequences harder to reverse.

Oregon-based startup Panthalassa is developing floating AI data centers powered by wave energy. The 85-meter-long system uses seawater to cool AI chips while turbines generate electricity from ocean waves. A prototype called Ocean-2 is already being tested off the coast of Washington, with AI data transmitted through SpaceX's Starlink network.

Who's Really Profiting from Alberta's Data Centers? The Alberta government calls data centers a multi-billion-dollar opportunity. But what's the return for Albertans? These projects demand enormous amounts of electricity, natural gas, water and public infrastructure. They place new pressures on municipalities and local communities, yet the government has provided very little information about the long-term economic benefits to Albertans. How much provincial tax revenue will they generate? What will they cost taxpayers and how will they affect affordability and inflation? Why are municipalities and local residents being sidelined in the process? I'm not opposed to data centers. Alberta should absolutely compete for investment. But attracting investment at any cost isn't good government. If Albertans are expected to provide the land, infrastructure, energy and public services that make these projects possible, then Albertans should be the first to benefit - not the last. We need transparency, accountability and a framework that protects the public interest before we commit billions of dollars' worth of Alberta's resources.

1/ Maine just hit pause on giant AI data centers. Why hasn’t Ohio? The Maine House passed a bill to temporarily ban new large data centers — anything 20 megawatts or bigger — until November 2027. That’s enough power for over 15,000 homes each. They want time to study the impact on the electricity grid, water usage, and the environment. 2/ Electricity bills have already increased significantly in recent years. Local towns have pushed back against these projects. Maine is saying: we need to understand the consequences before allowing more development. They’ve acknowledged there’s not enough information yet on the long-term impact of these massive facilities. 3/ When the data is incomplete, the smart move is to pause and evaluate. Ohio’s legislature has the same ability — and has already acknowledged gaps in understanding the long-term impacts. A temporary pause would let us do the proper analysis before more expansion. 4/ This comes down to priorities: Protecting residents, keeping energy costs in check, and safeguarding natural resources… …versus accelerating large-scale development without full transparency. 5/ Should Ohio follow Maine’s lead and pause large data centers too? What do you think — smart caution or missed opportunity? Comment below. 👇 Vote Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor on May 5!

Cato energy director Travis Fisher warns the next US president could kill data centers with one executive order: "What if the next president doesn't like data centers at all? If they're incredibly antagonistic, it would be very straightforward for the next president to issue an executive order saying, I'm worried about the grid. These large customers, especially the computational loads, they're scary to me, and I'm gonna basically say they can't connect to the grid." "That is a realistic possibility. We've sort of gotten complacent because Trump is so pro data center that we haven't thought about what the next person might be." Cato Institute

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70% Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned. Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE) Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers. An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand. There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same Ban secret sweetheart deals Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers This needs to be done immediately

All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs." "They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community." "Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them. New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY."

Today President Trump obtained a pledge from America’s leading tech companies that new data centers would not increase electricity prices for residential consumers. These companies (including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI) signed the “Ratepayer Protection Pledge” under which they agree to cover the costs of all new power generation required for their data centers, ensuring such costs are not passed onto American households. This is a much better approach to affordability than Bernie Sanders’ total ban on new data centers, which would halt the construction boom currently driving wage growth and job growth for blue-collar workers. In fact, the Ratepayer Protection Pledge will lower electricity prices when AI companies pay for grid upgrades and sell their excess power back to the grid. Since the beginning of his second term, President Trump has championed the idea of letting our leading AI companies become power companies, and now this idea is becoming a reality thanks to his leadership and the commitments of these strong American companies. The right approach to data centers is not to stop progress altogether, but rather to protect residential rate payers from price increases, while making it easier to stand up new power generation.

EXCESS LIQUIDITY MAKES 2027 ELECTION SPENDING A RISK TO THE ECONOMY - CBN Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor has warned that despite recent economic gains, the country faces significant risks to stability, especially with elections looming next year. Governor Yemi Cardoso told the National Economic Council Conference at the Presidential Villa that a large amount of liquidity remains in the system, and election year spending could destabilize the gains made by the Central Bank. He said past interventions, reaching ₦10.93 trillion, provided short term support but also created long-term distortions and higher costs of liquidity management. Cardoso also cautioned that monetary policy alone cannot stabilize the economy, highlighting food supply shocks, high energy costs, infrastructure deficits, and global trade tensions. He stressed the critical role of state and local governments, whose management of spending, deficits, and investment affects inflation, liquidity, and growth.

DON'T BAN 'EM; MAKE 'EM PAY! Jane Flegal served as Senior Director for Industrial Emissions in the Biden White House. At Searchlight, she's spearheading novel policy ideas that can turn America's data center buildout into massive public benefits for working families. There are already more than 4,000 data centers across the country. Instead of a moratorium on these facilities, Jane proposes an American Grid Infrastructure Fund — a new system which would ensure: 1. Families only pay for the electricity they use, and never pay more because of data centers 2. Data centers invest in the grid by funding massive, generational upgrades to the electricity system we all use — ending decades of neglect 3. Regulators can hold companies accountable to every single commitment they make In addition to the Fund, she has also proposed that states use tax incentives to 'make data centers better grid citizens:' take-or-pay load commitments, full cost causation, and more.
