@pinestateneedtoknow: Susan Collins announcing her "grave concern" over data centers gobbling up Maine’s power grid is the ultimate signal that Big Tech is about to get a rubber stamp. Whenever massive corporations target local resources, Collins breaks out her signature routine: furrowing her brow for local news cameras, claiming she shares community worries about skyrocketing electric bills, and insisting projects need to be evaluated "case-by-case". Yet while Mainers across the state overwhelmingly oppose tech giants straining local energy and water supplies, Collins stands on stage alongside pro-data center federal officials, quietly clearing the runway for corporate expansion behind closed doors. Expressing public worry about power costs while quietly ensuring tech oligarchs get their massive facilities isn't environmental stewardship—it's just a cover to make sure the project passes without her taking the blame. #maine #mainelife #mainer #mainecheck #mainetok
