cheese toasty :

I cannot stand Mahan 😭

Miche :

Does anyone understand why they’re trying to make it sound like it’s a good thing to consume so much energy? Like what is the point of being the city that consumes the most? Definitely doesn’t sound worthy of praise, it sounds greedy. What does the increased consumption afford?

JustDoge :

Hi! Im someone who’s involved in the energy industry in the bay and have firm opinions on data centers and whats happening/ insights. Let me know what questions you have

Elizabeth Lozano :

He means triple his $$$$

Mayor of Cupertino :

What about housing…

Lauren :

Why are we excited about tripling energy consumption wtf is wrong with him

B0mboclaat :

I’ll be honest I have a data center right across the street from my house on lundy that I never even knew was there. I don’t hear noises, my water hasn’t been affected or anything. I’m not sure exactly what’s happening to other people but im not really experiencing it

monoesque :

Why even bother with separating buildings to stay under the 100MW limit? They should just rip the mask off and say “we’re basing our energy usage at the individual outlet level”

itsmeandmeonly :

why is it always san Jose?

Cucamonga Duke :

I work for a different public utility and a colleague of mine once astutely said, “When commercial customers don’t like the rules, they move their businesses. When government customers don’t like the rules, they change the rules.” What’s happening here feels like those things colliding.

Speed racer :

Man everyday gives me another reason to leave this city

SketchTheImperial :

Then why TF is pg and e cutting power off if theres not already existing issues providing service to existing customers not your new data center

Paulrizal :

Dillybarish :

Thank you for your vigilance!

Michelle Lambert :

Thank you for sharing

kenushca :

our pge bill has been INSANE

GhostyRummy :

supply and demand will raise prices and i thought its only rising with EV use.

nillybillyboy :

So did I just hear data centers can run 99 back up generators before they are considered a “power plant” so they don’t have a to pay taxes

chefjpw :

Meanwhile, PG&E rates have recently increased dramatically. Supply and demand up, prices up, and will be exacerbated by data centers.

virgomooooon :

Build it in his backyard

barnabyryanw :

Santa Clara county has 75 data centers that second in the country more coming soon

LO✨💕 :

Omg thank you for making this!

Robert :

Didn’t the government just cut the emissions bill or standards I don’t know if that’s working in California, but that means that the generators that they put in don’t have to meet the California mission standards. Just a question.

Jaime :

The video I watched before this was how we have an infrastructure issue. Data centers are not bringing in more taxes or revenue when Mahan sells them at a low rate. So add that issue on top of every other issues these DCs have.

word_on_the_street_mayn :

💯 keep posting!
