@SasuRobert What happens when egld goes to zero?

@alex_fasulo Alex, you should submit this whole thing to The Free Press.

Western New Yorkers took to the street this weekend to stand up for their town in the face of a 2.2 million-square-foot data center, proposed by Stream Data Centers from Texas.

Data centers destroy the homes and communities around them. They require multiple server halls, massive cooling systems, electrical substations on-site, backup generation (diesel or gas), and 24/7 operation.

The data centers steal resources from the properties that surround them, which is why they target lower socioeconomic communities and rural villages where they plan to steamroll the town's laws, comments, and legal defenses.

Here is something sinister that needs to be mentioned. You have probably seen this pattern countrywide.

Alabama, NY is right next to Cider Solar, a 500MW ORES solar detention center. Have you noticed that data centers are popping up immediately next to solar and wind complexes and battery storage?

This is why I call commercial solar a Trojan horse. Do you really believe they are just going to stop with the solar complexes? It's the Trojan horse for BESS, and eventually, a data center. They test what they can get away with, how organized the local common folk are.

The solar leases people are signing for ORES projects are for 30+ years. They come with clauses buried in the contracts that extend the 30 years to 50 years. Do you REALLY believe that's for solar? For a form of energy that converts at 15% of its annual potential? For panels that will be broken down and unusable in 15-years time?

First came the ORES permit for Cider Solar. And now a data center is planned for the SAME TOWN. These New Yorkers took to the street with their signs to share the FACTS this weekend.

We are losing our state so quickly. Our water is under attack by multinational corporations and foreign renewable companies.

We need federal government intervention here in New York State yesterday.

When I first started looking through the Official of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) docket this past October for the first time, something struck me as concerning.

Over 75% of the projects in the pending category were being managed by foreign renewable companies, or, major multinational conglomerates with boards that were over 50% non-American.

The major players came from Canada, Denmark, Spain, and England. And nearly 100% of the solar panels used for these complexes were being assembled in China, using fossil fuels and rare earth minerals that were being mined out of third-world countries. Many have written to me to show me what it's doing to their biodiversity and rainforests.

With Fort Edward Solar, a proposed 1,800-acre solar complex sited on one of the last grasslands of its kind in the Northeast, the company behind the proposal was Boralex - a corporation out of Canada. Along the way, Boralex was acquired by Brookfield, an even larger renewable conglomerate out of Canada with ties to the current prime minister.

For these solar complexes, the LLC created for the project can be acquired, sold, or exchanged. Boralex can simply hand Brookfield the Fort Edward Solar LLC. It doesn't trigger any extra oversight or scrutiny from ORES.

I learned we have foreign corporations accessing our best farmland, grasslands, wetlands, and water (Invenergy has drilled under the Genesee River 7 times) under the guise of "green energy."

The scariest thing of all? They are leasing the land for 30-years in contracts. But a deeper look at the contract that many landowners don't hire an attorney to review (and the corporations know this) includes unilateral extension clauses that lengthen the leases to 50-years.

We have foreign corporations leasing out the land that feeds us while being given unchecked ability to destroy our environment since ORES engages in zero onsite monitoring or management whatsoever. ORES has been captured by the industry it's supposed to regulate.

A decade from now, millions of acres that used to grow food for us and livestock will be tied up in leases that will live on after us. All for panels that admittedly exhaust their lifespan at the 15-year mark.

Why do these companies need 50-year leases?

This is a national security concern. I keep hoping the federal government will realize this goes beyond wind complexes. The solar complexes are a Trojan horse.

@Juicebe11 Congratulations man. Work hard, Akron awaits.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@zibby42 @BuffaloBills Hopefully you find another team to root for.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@globalnewscheck @PressSec Dumb fuck, if your tip is on a card, you're paying taxes on it.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@PressSec He also said no Regime change wars.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@MuseBaker The things people post for attention. Get some professional help.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@SasuRobert What future will there be if the token goes to zero?

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@SasuRobert Does anyone actually use the network?

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@SasuRobert Time to build value again in the token. Or all of this will be nothing. I truly hope you understand this. I bought my first Elrond tokens before the main net ever launched. At one point I had accumulated 2.5 million erd to stake a node. Never sold. I feel sold out though.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@ssylbskn @lucianmincu And yet here you are, flapping your gums.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@SasuRobert How about asking AI to restore some value to EGLD please.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@SasuRobert I'd settle for restoring value to EGLD. But I'm just one of those dumb fucks who didn't cash out at 500.

[Tim Glavin @TimGlavin_]

@AnnieAndrewsMD There needs to be a well coordinated X post. A time needs to be chosen. At the appointed time, everyone should tell Graham, "Go Fuck Yourself. "
