Arkansas Times: Entergy blows a fuse over mistakenly shared documents revealing who’s paying data center bills. “Explosive revelations in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette today show that Google, the Silicon Valley giant building data centers in Little Rock and West Memphis, will pay only about a third of the price tag of its 600-megawatt solar facility in Jefferson County. The documents also […]

It's better than having non- #motorist #taxpayers foot the bill, but why are we trying to save this scrap heap in the first place? https://gothamist.com/news/should-drivers-cover-the-4-billion-cost-of-mamdanis-bqe-fix #brooklyn #cars #climate #airquality #mamdani #dsa #socialism #NYC

#Landfill Dumped In Early #EisenhowerEra Through Swinging #SanFrancisco 60s And Supposedly Sealed Off In 7😀's is Leaching Into The #PacificOcean

The site buried under bulldozed boulders at Mussel Rock Beach along the #SanMateo #Seashore gurgles up #garbage including easily read old newspapers from the early 1960s.

The dreaded #CaliforniaCoastalCommission could hit #DalyCity resident #taxpayers with huge fines, but current denizens of this working class enclave object to being blamed for poor planning by bureaucratic buffoons in decades past, putting #toxic heavy metals and ammonia into ground water as well as the sea itself..

**I've told you all, several times, that you shouldn't trust #BCNDP & that they're #sellout #neoliberals. They pander to #CorporateLobbyists invested in #Ecocide & exploitation of unceded #IndigenousLands. #RCMPCIRG = #CorporateMercenaries funded by #PublicMonies - our #Taxpayers funds. I told you that #DavidEby was groomed by #JohnHorgan too. I wasn't lying. They both lied to public though.**

Controversial B.C. RCMP unit to police opposition to fast-tracked resource projects.

This from 2021. And yes, it's still sitting there. The alternatives? Desecrating #YuccaMountain? Polluting the #GreatLakes? Or maybe burying it underneath Congress? But until we figure out how to transport and permanently store nuclear waste, it is being stored on site. And not just in #Maine -- everywhere there was a #NuclearPowerPlant!

Armed Guards Protect Tons Of #NuclearWaste That Maine Can’t Get Rid Of

By Abigail Curtis, BDN
Published July 19, 2021

"In the summertime, the picturesque village of #WiscassetME is infamous for its long lines of people hungry to try a lobster roll at Red’s Eats and cars that crawl through town on the often-clogged #USRouteOne.

"But just a few miles south of downtown is a different kind of roadblock: 550 metric tons of nuclear waste stored on a coastal peninsula at the now-decommissioned #MaineYankee atomic energy plant that have nowhere to go.

"The change in presidential administrations means another chance for the federal government to make good on its promise to remove the waste, so the site can be closed for good. The Biden administration’s Department of Energy seems to be picking up where the Obama administration left off, creating a process for communities to volunteer to host the waste.

" 'What worries me is that there really isn’t any national leadership right now on this stuff. There isn’t an agency that has a mission and has developed a strategy, that has goals and is willing to act on it,' Don Hudson, the chairman of the Maine Yankee Community Advisory Panel, said. 'We’re currently in this limbo.'

"That’s a problem because the waste — 1,400 spent nuclear fuel rods housed in 60 cement and steel canisters, plus four canisters of irradiated steel removed from the nuclear reactor when it was taken down — is safe for now, but can’t stay in Wiscasset forever.

"The situation in Wiscasset underscores a thorny issue facing more than 100 communities across the U.S.: close to a hundred thousand tons of nuclear waste that has no place to go.

"Securing these remnants of nuclear energy generation is an ongoing task that requires armed guards around the clock and costs Maine Yankee’s owners some $10 million per year, which is being paid for with money from the government.

"After the government failed to remove the spent fuel, Maine Yankee and the other two decommissioned nuclear power plants in New England — Connecticut Yankee in East Hampton, Connecticut, and Yankee Atomic in Rowe, Massachusetts — took it to court. So far, they have been awarded a total of $575.5 million in damages during four rounds of litigation, money that has been paid out of the U.S. Judgment fund. A fifth round is happening now, and the lawsuits are likely to continue until the fuel is removed.

"All told, the country’s many abandoned nuclear facilities — including Maine Yankee — have cost the federal government billions of dollars, a sum that increases by about $2 million each day, according to Eric Howes, the spokesperson for Maine Yankee and two other decommissioned plants in New England.

" 'All the #taxpayers in the United States are paying for the government’s failure to meet its obligations,' he said.

"But as the years pass, it seems that fewer and fewer people even realize that there are tons of nuclear waste on the secured site behind a chain-link fence on Bailey Point. Hudson and others worry that for many, it’s too easy not to think about it, diminishing the drive to find a better solution.

" 'Nobody ever travels by it. Nobody ever sees it,' Hudson said. 'It’s the classic out of sight, out of mind.' "

Wanna talk about a waste of money? Look no further than the #Republican Party

#louisiana pay attention. Vote NO for all four #amendments the #republicans are trying to take #taxpayers money and give it to the rich. Shocker

🤔It's already a gross #waste of #taxpayers money to study such a ridiculous relocation!

#Seabarrier 'better' than #relocation
"House study disagrees with proposal by a #PheuThai Party lawmaker to move the #capital to #NakhonRatchasima province, saying moving wld be #budget intensive & require a #referendum to decide.. it wld make more sense to build a strong system around #Bangkok, which is thought to be sinking, & surrounding provinces, to protect them"

#Sununu #nh #gop #vote #voter #fraud

New Hampshire passes #Trump #MAGA idiotic #hysterical #fearmongering bullshit law which costs NH #Taxpayers money

Not one recorded case of a non-citizen ever recorded in New Hampshire commiting vote fraud - correct me if I'm wrong. Not One.

Lots of #Republicans caught voting twice or jamming phone lines, though. Fancy. That.

Flush The Granite State clean of these losers. Flush twice. It's a long way to Mar-a-Lago.

I'm personally amending headline to:

Fuck this shit.

@thetyee @afh Predicted this would happen, early last year. This is irresponsible as hell. #RCMPCIRG should be #disbanded because they're NOT real #LawEnforcement - they're #CorporateMercenaries & they break laws with no #accountability !

Please dig in further & expose every politician who supported giving #incompetent & #violent #BadgedCriminals millions more of our #public #taxpayers monies.
