Just more proof that there's two tiers of justice. "Wanna put solar panels on your roof? Better hope your HOA is cool with that. Fuck no, we won't buy back your excess electricity. Also, we're taking away the tax incentives and subsidies, and we hope you get turbocancer."

But we need Melon Husk to operate his unlicensed gas turbines, because we need Grok to tell us what to do in Iran. That's not a joke, btw, that's what the DoJ said.

The memorandum [stating that xAI should be exempt from this federal regulation and] filed by the Justice Department said that Grok is one of four AI models that support “mission-critical operations,” such as its recent strikes in Iran.

Are they going to be guarded like they're national security assets or would it be easy for the locals to uh... shut them down themselves?

If you think there's a difference I have some bad news for you about how well-protected a lot of our assets are

Wait, are they actually refusing to buy (for peanuts) excess electricity produced by residential solar panels? wtaf

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Some US States do not buy back excess electricity, no.

So trailer generators can be there for 1 year while they are exempt from emissions

What's stopping them from simply shuffling around generators from one state to another or one site to another and indefinitely ignoring emissions?

Take this another step. This is tennessee. Someone should buy some property next to some of the people in power enabling this and setup as many as possible to run 24x7x365 next door. There's no problems for a whole year right?

Only problem I see with that plan is buying that much gas is just too expensive to be done.
