From headline, I thought he was backing away at AI datacenter first power delivery policy. My mistake. Just delay power expansions, and make sure rate payers pay for most expensive option.
This is supposedly targetting China
Approximately 450 large Chinese power transformers (rated above 10,000 kVA) have been imported into the U.S. grid since 2006. Critically, over 360 of these are Large Power Transformers (LPTs) exceeding 100,000 kVA
There are significant orders from utilities to China for new Transformers. The US has a 2.5 year queue overall for transformer delivery, which would lengthen considerably, and the existing Chinese transformers would also need to be replaced.
The order is also designed to make utility solar more expensive, and delayed, for their inverter costs.
I am old enough to remember when Obama proposed a series of initiatives to update the power grid, most of which were blocked by republicans on account of naughty naughty socialism.
Fucking stupid. The real danger to the grid is conservatives not letting us invest in infrastructure improvements
Let me guess, Lemmy and Reddit are excited because out power grid might get attacked? Because you know, screw Trump!!!
You know, I can tell Lemmy is actually hitting a critical mass of users when I see text book disinformation posts like this starting to crop up in the politics sub. Makes me feel happy. Also, get fucked, nobody cares.
Why didn’t you post this as a reply to one, then?
If the full text of this is “no Huawei anything anywhere in the grid” then I’m all for it.
Oh gee, if only there were some government agency intended to help protect industry from cybersecurity threats!
I thought all those “infrastructure weeks” that donnie the dotard kept announcing would have restored all of the infrastructure, including the power grid?
What happened? Did Obama, Hillary, Biden and Kamala sneak in there and blow up all his beautiful infrastructure?
