Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power
www.washingtonpost.com
Artificial intelligence, data centers and the boom in clean-tech manufacturing are pushing America’s aging power grid to the brink. Utilities can’t keep up.

The future of power in America is obvious. State governments will make corrupt deals with data centers and factories to keep their electricity costs low, and raise prices on residential users to compensate until poor families are priced out.

Buy your solar panels now. Before electricity changes from a right to a privilege.

    Your not wrong, but my only caveat is my solar installation was no money down, and just switch over from big electric to renewable.

    This was my situation but several offers were presented previous that required money down. I agree scams are everywhere but I wouldn’t classify Solar as an industry as a scam.

      Dont get me wrong, I want to go solar. I’ve just been reading that the top 5 companies you see non stop blasting YouTube ads are actually just predatory lenders using solar as a way to get high interest loans.

      If you go solar and aren’t paying cash, make sure you really investigate the company and the fine print. Also be wary of who provides lending for the local installer doing the work.
