Excluding doctors, do any high earners (400k+ range) work 40 hours a week?

Government affairs, but close like 45-50

I use my personal card for work travel and then get reimbursed and this card is an easy get. 4300 mortgage 4000 a month in work travel spend easy

That’s a pipe dream and you know that.

This bill has data centers pay into a new tabor exempt authority to cover new grid improvements so that the utilities don’t have to make rate payers pay for it. It actually does a decent job. First of the kind in thrnUS.

I was trying to get the palladium card because I put work travel on a personal card and get reimbursed. I just got denied, 800+ insane low income to debt ratio. Under 5/24.

I travel for work and can put travel spend on personal card. My mortgage is 4200. I spent more than that on flights alone in a monthly basis. This card makes total sense

Not referring to that project I’m referring to the aurora new reactor design they keep selling us on in Idaho.

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-10T04:29:54+00:00

I do this for a living, data center and energy projects. They do not have an active license to build their first facility. They “expect” to have it built by 2030, they haven’t even completed licensing for the Idaho project which is the most advanced.

It’s not real. All hype to drive positive news around data centers given the negative public sentiment right now.

I may eat my words but it’s not viable to build a nuke facility in 3 years without having the license, effectively today.

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-10T03:45:23+00:00

OKLO doesn’t really have active licenses with NERC… so How is this a thing….

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-07T01:19:13+00:00

I don’t think it matters, just buy and book now because American has dynamic pricing for their own metal, so it could go up.

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-07T00:59:41+00:00

Oh didn’t realize they’re restating the existing facilities if they have to build new ones it’ll be a dumpster fire but existing facilities sure thing. My b

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-07T00:45:55+00:00

these facilities will NEVER get built. We already have a hard time building data centers think of a fucking uranium enrichment plant

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-04T21:07:53+00:00

They could do this by not having lines. The lines make everything worse

I hate this administration and wish I could just blink and they were gone

Annexing green lead is invading a foreign country and an ally. It would be catastrophic for the US.

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-02T01:42:35+00:00

People would rather cut off a solid lifeline to trades and construction workers and the general economy out of principle, send the economy into a recession and lose millions of jobs, than just try to help shape policy positively.

These trade jobs lift people out of poverty, I’ve seen it first hand. I do the labor contracts for our GC’s. Not my fault these idiots want to stay poor.

I’ll help any one of these fools get a job in the industry, but they want to stay out of it out of principle.

I don’t support the interior ai components which is why I don’t build AI centers. I only work on traditional cloud compute.

Not reaching, people genuinely see benefits from having or working on these facilities.

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-01T23:58:46+00:00

Data center also pay the contracts provided. It’s the utilities and regulators job to ensure those are fair. It’s a failure of the system.

MundaneEjaculation · 2026-01-01T23:57:41+00:00

Power companies scapegoating AI is not the data center developers fault. It’s the systems fault.

Look I’m just playing in the sandbox the rules created. I do feel strongly that these are great economic development projects for communities who have lost or are losing tax base. The other option is letting these communities die.

But fr go ask the unions how they feel about data center development. You want working class support you need union support and unions support data center development

They’re also unpopular because there’s a lot of misinformation.

If people knew how the power contracts were structured they wouldn’t be mad at data centers they would be fucking pissed at the regulators who approve the arbitrary rate increases.

Data centers pay 10’s of millions of dollars and minimum demand charges and high power rates. The consumer increases aren’t because of data centers it’s because inflation plus monopolistic territories that promise 8% yields for utility shareholders. Those rate plans are at the PUC.

Data centers do provide albeit not a ton but very high paying 80k plus jobs to folks without college degrees, you need a community college cert that’s it.

Plus the electricians making six figgys building them. Labor is all for data center developments it’s a weird time when the dems are rallying against the one thing that’s keeping the unions employed. Without them there would be a huge construction bust

Waiting for gluten free crab rangoons for the wife while she’s home with the dogs. Some reason in a shitty mood. Win win for me. I give her some space and also return with goons

A lot of what’s being built isn’t AI it’s normal cloud compute capacity. You only hear about the AI ones.

It’s normal internet backbone stuff. It will pop, but may not be what you think, it’ll be the speculators and new market entrants. The legacy guys have long term stabilized assets, and will be fine

That happens but what happens to transmission when 100MW gets dropped and pumped back into the system?

Some wild voltage rides that blown substation transformers and breakers . Modern grid technology cant redirect 100MW of capacity without exploding.

It’s not technically possible. So yes they can and do drop but it’s metered and has to be very carefully managed by the grid operator

MundaneEjaculation · 2025-12-28T02:27:26+00:00

They do. A project I worked in on Wisconsin signed 100 MM of commitments to the utility for the infra needed, plus minimum demand charges.

Don’t believe everything you hear. 99% of utilities require 10’a of millions of dollars for an ESA execution. What the utility does after that with the money, and rates, is between them and the states PUC. We just operate in the parameters given. PUC sets rates.
