Lately, they've been using "national security" as the magic universal excuse. See also, the Trumpenbunker.

Just more proof that there's two tiers of justice. "Wanna put solar panels on your roof? Better hope your HOA is cool with that. Fuck no, we won't buy back your excess electricity. Also, we're taking away the tax incentives and subsidies, and we hope you get turbocancer."
But we need Melon Husk to operate his unlicensed gas turbines, because we need Grok to tell us what to do in Iran. That's not a joke, btw, that's what the DoJ said.
The memorandum [stating that xAI should be exempt from this federal regulation and] filed by the Justice Department said that Grok is one of four AI models that support “mission-critical operations,” such as its recent strikes in Iran.
Are they going to be guarded like they're national security assets or would it be easy for the locals to uh... shut them down themselves?
If you think there's a difference I have some bad news for you about how well-protected a lot of our assets are
Wait, are they actually refusing to buy (for peanuts) excess electricity produced by residential solar panels? wtaf
Some US States do not buy back excess electricity, no.
Stupid country. My generation is more than twice the night tarriff.
It’s one party of the country that does it. They run the media and the influence and keep 51% of the people who actually vote on their side and have done for 40 years in a row.
It’s coming for every country.
Everyone should be wary of the right but acting like it is an inevitability is ridiculous and more american eceptionalism. It only happener to us because its coming for everyone.
It happened to america because everyone there allowed it. Fake democracy was always visible, corruption always there, foreign policy. The works. And its no one party, one if far worse and the other is complacent
In most of this country the meters are dumb and the pricing is fixed 24/7. This means that any solar power that you put into the grid can only be full price. Also the grid is antiquated and cant handle the unpredictable fluctuations.
Holy shit you have got to be kidding me.
When they said they are using AI I thought it was like a lot of scientists and engineers use "AI". Like some sort of expert system with a neural network somewhere in the guts. Some math thing that gets labeled as AI to keep the funding going.
But they are actually using Grok. An LLM. A bullshit generation machine.
They are actually going "@grok Where do we bomb the brown people?"
That's fucking batshit insane. They don't actually think that it is an AI right? They don't actually think it can reason or think at all? Or solve problems? Or any of the things that would actually be useful, instead of simply generating the next most probable piece of bullshit in a long line of never ending bullshit.
This world is actually fucking insane. The amount of brain washing going on when it comes to AI is wild.
Who knows? That is either just an excuse to protect that illegal facility of an oligarch or they are really using that facility to target girl schools in Iran.
it's just a plausable deniability machine, the "AI" attachment is just excuse to ratfuck public funds
For any other administration I would agree with this. For these guys? They are absolutely stupid enough to really be using Grok for decisions like this.
rules for thee but not for me
So trailer generators can be there for 1 year while they are exempt from emissions
What's stopping them from simply shuffling around generators from one state to another or one site to another and indefinitely ignoring emissions?
Take this another step. This is tennessee. Someone should buy some property next to some of the people in power enabling this and setup as many as possible to run 24x7x365 next door. There's no problems for a whole year right?
Only problem I see with that plan is buying that much gas is just too expensive to be done.
Elon sucks farts from satan’s asshole.
His eternal future is probably far worse than that.

I am so fucking sick and tired of the lies from Donald Trump and his good squad.
Lock them all up.
The light the cage on fire. Fuck these Nazi pieces of shit.
