It just boggles my mind that politicians don’t even learn from issues like this debacle in Williston. Hell the county was in a lawsuit over this one when the city signed a memorandum of understanding (basically rubber stamping) on a new one probably ten times the size and in city limits. Nothing spells enormous lawsuit better than that. And then to give an answer to the monthly testing of 240 Cat 3512 gensets like they did is beyond asinine. For those that don’t know those engines are in a lot of locomotives. Could you imagine 240 locomotives sitting side by side running at max rpm for possibly days during power outages. You can’t make this shit up. These politicians should be held personally responsible for this kind of stuff. They aren’t doing their due diligence.

Those engines are like a rocket blasting into space when wound up at full idle.

Love that sound, but sure don't want it outside my home within 5 miles.

It's interesting the people that support the orange guy are some of the same ones that hate these data centers - even though their boy is pushing them big time. But, to most of them, he does nothing wrong. Hypocrisy at its finest - which is the main problem in a nutshell

My insurance premiums have tripled since the affordable health care act. So that was a huge miss.

Not sure your point, was the brown man perfect and odor free?

China love this long time.
Orange man bad.

And we were all supposed to die when 1999 turned into the year 2000.

Windmills have single handedly DESTROYED areas I used to hunt….USED to hunt. If anyone says they don’t change wildlife patterns they are wrong! I don’t give a shit what kind of “degree” you have! If you say they don’t, you are wrong!
It's OK that you're wrong, even though you aren't wrong, it's OK.

They've probably killed more birds than I have, they're not quiet and I just don't like them.

Interesting - The US Wildlife Service says outdoor cats kill somewhere between 1-4 billion birds a year in the United States - they also say windmills kill 140,000 to 350,000 a year.

Not saying you are wrong. Just stating what data says

I wonder when the statute of limitations runs out on blaming Obama and Biden for everything the repubs are doing to harm our country.

We’re intelligent enough to know not to support everything orange unlike liberals where they support everything. I’m an independent. I support trump in a number of areas but he’s been tough to swallow in quite a few too. But I also think a lot of crazy ass shit he says he simply says to get a charge out of the media lol. You have to be able to take that stuff with a grain of salt

There needs to be more people like you that can see both sides and not drink the koolaid of either side.
