DATA CENTERS - TECHNOCRACY - THE BEAST RISES
I saw something about this a few weeks ago. I was interested in the particular issue of why energy rates are soaring.
One thing that has struck me about the power shortages and soaring energy bills, the sewage overflows, the struggling mobile phone networks etc. which places like Ireland and the US are experiencing now, is that no one ever mentions the millions of immigrants who have come to those shores in the last few years and who are now using those very same services, often I would imagine fairly flagrantly, since they do not have to pay for electricity or mobile phones out of their own pockets. Millions of extra people using the same public services that were already loaded to capacity or even over-capacity, and without any expansion of those services ... Yet apparently this has no effect on the infrastructure of a country. And no effect on our supply-and-demand economies. Yet surely one reason our electricity prices are rising is because a million more people are using electricity.
