.@washingtonpost reports a new joint Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania study finding data centers have "only a small effect on residential electricity prices."
Data centers were responsible for "just 4 percent of the utility rate increases over the last five years."
**Weak Connection Between Data Centers & Overall Electricity Prices**
"Multiple studies by different researchers and organizations have failed to find a strong connection between data centers and the overall trajectory of U.S. electricity prices in recent years."

The governor-elect of Texas, Gina Hinojosa, has explicitly said that all currently permitted datacenters in Texas will be allowed to finish construction. This essentially covers all of the 2027 and likely well into 2028.
She is going to pass laws that ensure that all *newly* permitted datacenters going forward for delivery in 2028/2029 will pay taxes, commit to no increase in power prices for consumers, don’t impact water availability for people, be constructed with union labor and give “Texans a seat at the table.”
Sounds reasonable. She doesn’t want to lose a lot of good blue collar jobs and property taxes for small towns in rural Texas.
Datacenter commentary starts at 6:30 in this interview.
Also attaching her official campaign position from her website in the next post.
Sidenote: After watching a bunch of her speeches and interviews, I do think she is a political talent and probably has a future in national politics.

Checked in with Butterworth’s chef Bart Hutchins this morning. “This thing will never be an enforced law. DC can’t afford it,” he says.
Also:
DC votes to ban foie gras. What now?
Officially, the law wouldn't go into effect until July 1, 2027, but it could face legal challenges.

'Vote' comes from the Latin 'votum' meaning "vow" or "wish."
Now we kind of want an "I just wished!" sticker....

Powerful message from a Michigan voter this morning:
“I'm from New York, I have my kids here, so I just hope I never have to see anything like what happened with 9/11 again…go out there, vote. We lost a lot of good people that day...I hope this hate stops."

There is, I promise you, a campaign manager somewhere in America yelling at a handful of campaign staff and volunteers, “YARD SIGNS, we have to deploy the yard signs!!”

There are only two countries where US and Israeli flags are burned:
1. The Islamic Republic of Iran.
2. France.
This video was filmed yesterday in Lyon, France
…and I thought the demonstration was supposed to be about improving education in France.
