Normalizing declaring national emergencies perhaps?
Setting up the scapegoat for the inevitable collapse of the power-grid due to the data center build out.
You can’t be angry at the government if it was Canada’s fault. Now you have to support the invasion of Canada by candlelight or be considered an un-American communist sympathizer.
Damn Canadians!
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.
The actual threat is hyperscale datacenters.
As for this, just a grift to find a way to funnel more money to his buddies so they don’t have to pay to fix their systems and/or pocket money from taxpayers.
Every one of these is always a grift.
It’s either that or he just signalled to the world the majority of the PLCs managing the US critical infrastructure are internet facing, requiring little/no effort to infiltrate it.
That would suggest intelligence.
Fucking stupid. The real danger to the grid is conservatives not letting us invest in infrastructure improvements
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.
Something something Roman citizen something something bridge never gets fixed
This is so fucking stupid.
This problem has been known for years. YEARS.
EV Charger Hacking Poses a ‘Catastrophic’ Risk — Wired Magazine, July 5, 2023
You know how they have effectively and efficiently handled problems like this in the past?
Well they don’t gut the fucking government, hamstringing the agencies responsible for ensuring the safety of these devices and of our cybersecurity as a whole, refuse to create rules over the equipment and infrastructure that protects our infrastructure, and then publicize that it’s a problem before any meaningful change has been made so that every fucking script kiddie and malcontent with AI tokens can try their hand at taking down a region’s power grid, let alone the state actors who have the resources to do it anyway.
They keep it quiet. Pass boring-ass rules and don’t say shit until they’re sure the threat has passed or has been sufficiently remediated.Terrible fucking governance. They’re literally publicizing a way to conduct a terror attack against the U.S. before they have a plan to handle it.
Which might be the point.
If Trump is, in fact, a foreign asset, and compromised actor, would he be doing anything differently?
You read between the lines, my friend.
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.
Its a good thing he spent all that money making sure no one could build wind power…
And solar.
Ah, but don’t you see? If he didn’t stop the solar panels, they would’ve stolen the Earth’s entire magnetic moment. And then, they would’ve stolen the Earth’s electromagnetism, which means the loss of all light. This would’ve spread to the Sun itself, destroying the entire universe.
I don’t know anything about that but I believe you.
donnie the dotard is great at trying to roll back anything good for America. Conservatives ruin everything.
Trump administration quietly canceled the nation’s largest solar project
https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/climate/trump-solar-project-nevada-electricity
Trump rollbacks hit $83 billion in solar and wind power projects
He and the idiot conservatives in the WH with their Big Idiotic Bill killed tax credit on residential solar:

They were wasting all the electricity making wind! /s
hmm. 35% of electricity comes from Canada. Threatens Canada with invasion and economic war. Wonders why the lights go out.
Do you have a source for that number. Because this source says it’s like 2%: https://www.poweradvisoryllc.com/reports/impact-of-tariffs-on-electricity-exports-from-canada-to-the-united-states
Looks like it only applies in some states in the US: https://www.greenmatters.com/news/what-states-get-power-from-canada
You say 2%, they say 35%, split the difference?
ChatGPT told me I had psychic powers and probably am related to aliens from Venus.
…just sayin’.
What did you ask lol
I wonder what’s causing all this extra power drain.
Im sure it can’t have anything to do with all the
surveillancedata centers being built to watch the masses every second of the day.Just saw a FB thread where people were arguing the DCs are okay because they sourced a lot of generators to run on, and they use DEF fluid so they’re clean. I didn’t have the care to argue with them how badly that is actually polluting.
Oh gee, if only there were some government agency intended to help protect industry from cybersecurity threats!
So how many national emergencies is this now? Seems like we have a new one every week…
As many as necessary to misdirect taxpayer money to the rich.
So you stop asking for the epstien files
A new distraction every week/day/hour. You gotta hand it to them, it’s working on the smooth brain idiots.
It’s the same one ever week and it’s the national emergency named Donald Trump.
Dookie Donnie does dumb shit — again.
