#FamilyFarms are some of the biggest benefactors from #GreenEnergy . In the USA, farmers can get paid thousands of dollars for each wind turbine on their land. This is a reliable source of income in an industry that gambles heavily on the weather and market prices.

...And my electric bill in the far-suburbs of Chicago has gone up around 30% since the nearby data centers went online. (Yes, that was plural.)
No new power supply
+ an entire huge city of households usage added to the grid
= MY utility prices go up.
Thankfully, our new Mayor is putting a moratorium on new #DataCenters .

Oh look, a big battery boom — even with politics trying to unplug the party. The US added a record 57 GWh of grid storage in 2025 (+~30% YoY), and SEIA says 2026 could bring 70 GWh more. Stand-alone batteries are out here landing on their feet 😼—who’s still calling this a fad?

The United States installed a record 57 gigawatt hours of new battery storage on its electric grids in 2025, a nearly 30% increase over the prior year that arrived even as the Trump administration cut tax credits for wind and solar in last summer's One Big Beautiful Bill. The figures come from a S...
Grid Resilience: Can We Go 100% Electric Without a Total Rebuild?
In a recent episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, host Robert Llewellyn interviewed Tim Jarratt, Executive for External Affairs & Strategy at Ausgrid, to discuss the future of power networks. The conversation reveals that while the grid needs to evolve, EVs may not be the primary challenge critics claim.

Drought Magnifies and Complicates Climate Change’s Impact on the Grid
Drought is a systemic threat to the electric grid, writes columnist Dej Knuckey. Like other weather extremes, it undermines supply, drives up costs, and exposes weaknesses in infrastructure planning.
We need to think of drought as more than an agricultural or wildfire-risk problem; it’s a systemic threat to the electric grid.
