.Mark R. Levin: “A brand-new peer-reviewed study shows data centers actually caused average U.S. retail electricity rates to fall modestly between 2015 and 2024. Why? High, steady power demand helps spread a grid’s fixed costs over more usage.”

@micsolana @marklevinshow Bullshit. Look at what's going on in the PJM region (home of the massive data center complexes in Northern Virginia). Huge surge in demand with shrinking supply = skyrocketing prices.

@marklevinshow If AI data centers need more power, then let’s figure out how to generate more of it instead of acting like the demand is just gonna disappear.

NOW: President Trump has arrived at the EPA to announce a new AI energy initiative, making sure data centers are the ones footing the bill for their energy usage — NOT American families They'll actually be producing MORE energy than they use, driving down rates for families. "The American Innovators and consumers strive to win together because we're insisting that AI data centers and big tech companies pay THEIR OWN WAY." "They're going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they'll put that into the grid so it'll actually end up with more electricity. The rates are going to go DOWN."

A local utility company in Illinois has plans to help lower residents electrical bills They will be requiring new data centers and planned data centers to sign 10 year contracts saying they will be responsible for paying for upgrade costs and electricity usage costs “That means any new data centers would be on the hook for power upgrades and any energy they plan to use, even if the data center ends up not getting built or if they don't use as much power as planned or if they close. So if they use the power that they're applying for, then they'll pay their fair share of the cost of maintaining and building our grid through their rates”

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

Veteran oil analyst Paul Sankey says any push to lower oil prices would undermine a major U.S. advantage in the AI race: cheap electricity. Much U.S. natural gas is produced as a byproduct of oil drilling. High oil prices keep wells operating and large volumes of this “associated gas” flowing. Natural gas fuels roughly 40% of U.S. electricity generation, and gas-fired power plants frequently help set wholesale power prices. If cheaper oil causes producers to drill less, the resulting decline in gas supply could raise electricity costs just as AI data centers demand more power. “The huge advantage the U.S. has is the cheapest natural gas in the world,” Sankey told Bloomberg.

This is IMPORTANT news for parents. A new study is out on January 23rd, 2025, it's peer-reviewed, meaning it's been checked and double-checked by experts. It shows a clear link between vaccines and autism. This isn't just about autism; we're talking about a range of neurodevelopmental disorders. The more vaccines a child gets, the higher the risk. There's even a graph showing this dose-response relationship, where autism rates climb with each vaccine. And for preterm babies? They're at an even higher risk for these issues when vaccinated compared to those who aren't. Now, I know some say autism is just genetic, but this study adds a new layer to the debate. Check out the graphs if you want the hard data. U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. Robert F. Kennedy Jr

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!

Dr. Eric Schmidt says AI needs “energy in all forms: renewable, non-renewable, whatever.” “It needs to be there, and it needs to be quickly.” “People are planning 10 gigawatt data centers.” “An average nuclear power plant in the United States is one gigawatt.” “Data centers will require an additional 29 gigawatts of power by 2027 and 67 more gigawatts by 2030.” “These things are industrial at a scale I have never seen in my life.” This is exactly why I believe the market is still underestimating the AI power and infrastructure opportunity in companies like $TE, $BE, $PUMP, $PSIX, $SMR, $FCEL, $MARA, $KEEL, and $OKLO. The biggest constraint to scaling AI remains electricity. The companies building power generation, grid infrastructure, electrical equipment, cooling systems, and AI data centers could be among the biggest beneficiaries over the next decade. Not financial advice. Do your own research.

NRED is not just a mining story. It is a power-demand and strategic-metals story. The U.S. is heading into record electricity demand as AI, data centers, electrification, and grid expansion accelerate. At the same time, copper supply is becoming more fragile. Reuters, citing S&P Global, has reported copper demand could rise from 28 million metric tons in 2025 to 42 million by 2040, with a potential 10 million metric ton annual supply gap if new supply does not come online. That is where NovaRed Mining ( $NRED ) enters the discussion. The company’s copper-gold exposure in British Columbia’s Quesnel Terrane becomes more relevant in a world where power infrastructure, defense resilience, and AI growth all need more copper. Not financial advice. Stocks can lose value.

🇺🇸 SEC BURGUM: “LAWMAKERS BROKE THE GRID, NOT DATA CENTERS” U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum just called out the real reason your energy bill is climbing, and it’s not AI or crypto. Electricity in New England costs 3x more than in North Dakota and he says that’s thanks to bad energy policy, not data centers. He slammed subsidies for unreliable sources like offshore wind, saying some projects cost $11B for 1GW of intermittent power, versus $1–2B for 24/7 reliable supply. Burgum laid into what he called “climate extremists,” accusing them of prioritizing flashy green experiments over building energy systems that actually work. The result is sky-high bills for electricity that cuts out when the weather does, while lawmakers pat themselves on the back for feel-good “net zero” policies that don’t add up. Burgum: “A lot of the higher prices that you're seeing are not related to the AI data centers. The policy choices of the last 5 years, driven by sometimes climate extremists, were the ones that are driving up the prices you're seeing.” Source: Bloomberg

China installed 400 GW of new power last year, over 350 gigawatts of solar and wind. The U.S.? Just 63. We talk a big game about leading on AI, chips, and reshoring manufacturing. But where’s the electricity going to come from? Some say natural gas can replace renewables. But the largest turbine manufacturer, GE Vernova, is already sold out until after Trump's term. Meanwhile: 📌 China = 400 GW 📌 U.S. = 60 GW 📌 GE Vernova's global gas turbine output = 20 GW… for the entire globe! If we gut clean energy incentives now, we don’t just fall behind, we're cooked. You can't grow your economy and run AI data centers on backorders and broken promises. We’re demanding more energy than ever. And we’re about to constrain the resources that are actually delivering it. Full Video:

A brand new peer reviewed human study just revealed something huge. goBHB did more than provide clean energy. It helped subjects keep their lean muscle, lose fat, and maintain their metabolic rate even while eating fewer calories. This is the holy grail for anyone who wants to cut without losing size or strength. In this video, I break down the study results and explains why goBHB may be one of the most important ingredients for lifters, athletes, and anyone trying to improve their body composition. Learn how goBHB helped participants: • Preserve lean muscle during an eight week calorie deficit • Lose fat while improving their lean to fat mass ratio • Maintain resting metabolic rate instead of slowing down • Stay energized and perform better while dieting • Support metabolic and cardiovascular health with a clean safety profile If you want better cuts, stronger training sessions, and a real edge during calorie restriction, this study shows why goBHB belongs in your stack.

The biggest power grab since Standard Oil is happening today and almost nobody is paying attention. Tech companies are building their own power grid. They're about to produce more electricity than entire COUNTRIES. Right now at the White House, CEOs from Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI are signing a pledge that most people will scroll past. But it might be the most important business deal of the decade. They're committing to build, bring, or buy 100% of their own electricity for every new AI data center. Their own power plants. Their own transmission lines. Their own energy infrastructure. These are SOFTWARE companies agreeing to become power utilities. Here's why this matters for everyone reading this: By the end of this year, at least 5 US data centers will each consume over 1 gigawatt of continuous power. 1 gigawatt powers 850,000 homes. 5 of these facilities will use more electricity than some entire countries. The US grid physically cannot handle it. Capacity prices in the PJM grid, which covers 13 states, exploded from $28.92 per megawatt-day to $329.17 in just two years. That's literally a 1,000% increase. So what do you do when the grid can't support you? You stop using the grid. Amazon is buying nuclear reactors. Microsoft restarted Three Mile Island. Meta signed 20-year nuclear deals. Chevron is building a 2.5 gigawatt natural gas plant in West Texas specifically to power data centers. These companies aren't supplementing the grid. They're replacing it. For themselves. Think about what's actually happening here: 7 companies now control more computing power than most governments. And today they're signing paperwork to control their own energy supply too. Computing. Data. Energy. Infrastructure. That's not a "tech" company anymore. A Harvard energy law professor already called the pledge "meaningless" because utilities in PJM are spending tens of billions on power projects for data centers and those costs are STILL being spread across ratepayers anyway. The pledge has zero legal teeth. No enforcement mechanism. No compliance monitoring. No penalty for breaking it. It's a political move designed to get tech companies through the midterms without becoming the villain of every campaign ad about electricity bills. But the underlying shift is real and irreversible: Tech companies are becoming energy companies. Energy companies are becoming AI infrastructure. And the line between Big Tech and Big Energy is about to disappear completely. The big question here: When seven companies control both the world's intelligence AND the power that runs it, who exactly is governing who?

I started digging into the rapid expansion of hyperscale data centers and energy projects in Ohio and what I found raised serious questions about transparency, public oversight, and who these deals are really benefiting. JobsOhio was created in 2011 and funded through the state’s liquor enterprise revenue, billions generated from public assets. Yet it operates as a private nonprofit that is not subject to traditional open-records laws. Today, Ohio is being marketed as “deployment ready” for hyperscale data centers, massive facilities that require constant, industrial-scale electricity and water usage. To support that demand, new energy infrastructure is being proposed across the state, including advanced nuclear projects like Oklo in Pike County. Policy changes like Ohio Senate Bill 52 shifted how energy siting decisions are handled at the local level, while utilities such as American Electric Power have proposed new tariffs and grid upgrades to support the surge in data center demand. Communities across Ohio are raising concerns about farmland loss, water usage, electricity costs, and the lack of early public input before these deals are shaped. Regardless of where you stand on development, one thing should be non-negotiable: Transparency. Accountability. And a real voice for the people of Ohio. Public resources and infrastructure should serve the public first. Decisions that shape our land, our water, and our power grid should not happen behind closed doors. If you care about your community, your property, and your future, now is the time to start asking questions and paying attention.

.Shanu Mathew explains how massive AI data centers could actually make electricity cheaper for the communities hosting them: "You can sign a tariff with your utility to pay an advanced rate to cover your fair share of infrastructure, or at least cover all the additional generation and T&D that you'll require." "An electricity bill is 35% generation, so how you actually make the power. 65% of it's how it gets delivered. If you bring in a really big taxpayer, that person will bring down the per rate that everyone pays, because you're adding more people to pay for the same fixed asset." "In Louisiana, for example, was hyperscalers signing NDAs with local state officials. All this creates mistrust in the community. The real way is just to be extremely transparent, have the utility publish the agreement, have the state officials side by side with you as you announce it to the community, and then see the follow through." "You can highlight some of the other wins. Loudoun is one, but also Quincy, Washington, Ellendale, North Dakota, I&M in South Bend. Search data center power, and you'll start to see rates coming down in these communities as a result of all this new data center load coming online."

🚨 NEW: For a year, I've watched the growing campaign against AI data centers, from protests over water and electricity that include a sophisticated pro-China communist and socialist activist ecosystem mobilizing opposition across the country. Today, there's a new proposal aimed at changing that debate: "data center dividends" for the communities and their residents who have data centers as their neighbors. They could amount to as much as $8,900 a year per person. What do you think? A new report by the Bitcoin Policy Institute Institute proposes the idea of "data center dividends" that could push cash in the pockets of Americans. 🎥 Watch my interview with Sam Lyman, the head of resarch and a former senior advisor and speech writer to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as he explains the idea. The concept: instead of communities simply selling land for AI infrastructure, residents could receive annual payments, tax credits, utility bill credits or scholarship funds financed by the existing property tax revenue generated by the data centers, without raising taxes or increasing costs for developers. Researchers estimate a typical rural household could receive about $4,500 to $8,900 a year, with some communities potentially receiving even more. The idea is simple: if rural America is helping power the AI revolution, shouldn't rural Americans share directly in the economic gains? In my latest Fox News Digital report, I break down the proposal, the politics behind it and why its supporters believe it could reverse the growing backlash against data centers. 📖 Read the full story:

The concept: instead of communities simply selling land for AI infrastructure, residents could receive annual payments, tax credits, utility bill credits or scholarship funds financed by the existing property tax revenue generated by the data centers, without raising taxes or increasing costs for developers. Researchers estimate a typical rural household could receive about $4,500 to $8,900 a year, with some communities potentially receiving even more. The idea is simple: if rural America is helping power the AI revolution, shouldn't rural Americans share directly in the economic gains? In my latest Fox News Digital report, I break down the proposal, the politics behind it and why its supporters believe it could reverse the growing backlash against data centers. 📖 Read the full story:

‼️ Are you being influenced by a foreign influence operation paid for by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)? ‼️ Democrats and even some Republicans appear to be falling for a foreign influence operation paid for by China to spread anti-data center messaging. China is building AI the way a serious country builds a power grid and a highway system, with a national plan, state-backed data centers, hundreds of billions of dollars invested to make computing power a public utility and a focus on locking in home-grown chips. Here in the US, these same facilities that will decide who leads the next economy and who has the stronger military are being stalled town by town with moratoriums and “your electric bill is the data center’s fault” messaging, while Chinese state media and China-aligned activist networks cheer every day. This is becoming a very destructive pattern for the United States. America debates itself into paralysis while our adversaries treat AI infrastructure as destiny. I do agree that local communities deserve answers about the questions they have regarding their electric and water costs as it pertains to data centers in their zip code, but whoever is supposed to be messaging on this issue is failing to convey why the US *needs* data centers. TO BEAT CHINA is one good reason, and probably the best reason. Allowing radical left activists and foreign-amplified and foreign funded panic to freeze U.S. compute while Beijing builds at national scale is surrender in the AI race. If we want American strength in AI and if we want AI dominance, we need to build the plants, the power, and the data centers here on US soil in agreeable locations that make local communities feel comfortable before we lose more ground to China.
