Indiana is getting $15 billion in Big Tech investment. Residents don’t want to foot the energy bill.
A bill moving through the Indiana legislature would require tech firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to cover 80% of project costs, which, if enacted, would make it the first state to do so. At the same time, the bill would allow Indiana utilities to try and pass the costs of building smaller nuclear reactors to customers. Tech companies hope these early-stage energy solutions could someday supply cleaner, around-the-clock power to data centers.
Tell ya what, this kind of thing makes me want to find a ghost/dead town somewhere to get away from all this nonsense. Set out some solar panels, sink my own well, invest in a wood burning stove. Go off grid as much as possible.
