[quote=Anonymous]None of this stuff matters one iota when you consider how many data centers are being built all over Virginia, and all over the nation. And it’s happening relatively very quietly.

Virginia is expecting to about DOUBLE the average electrical demand in its grid in the next 10 years due almost entirely to planned data centers and the power purchase agreements already in place.

You guys want to talk about air conditioning and meat - and not having kids?!?! — that is crazy and useless. You would be better off agreeing to limit your web browsing and streaming. No more Spotify; break out your CDs, instead. Don’t share tons of photos, or compress the few important ones that you want to send to Grandma. Don’t unnecessarily like anyone’s posts. Seriously. If you’re going to worry about this other nonsense, you may as well throw these in, too. That’s where the demand is.

The grid capacity is doubling. (Electric cars are contributing additionally to that.)

Now, where do you want it to come from. Solar and wind are not sufficient, not by a long shot. People want to stream their shows and music at night, after the sun goes down. There is no large-scale storage solution. And even just the solar and wind, if it were 24 hours, would not be cost competitive.

Where are you advocate to local politicians to build more nuclear generation capacity?

When you say “just vote, that’s the most important thing,” what have your candidates committed to in terms of building more nuclear, and accelerating the permitting, licensing? How about guaranteeing capital investments?

This is what matters. The rest is rearranging deck chairs for people who are not serious.

Good luck. [/quote]
