Don Parsons has been in the Georgia House of Representatives for 30 years and is currently running for reelection to a 16th term. He's signed a pledge supporting term limits for Congress, but I guess he thinks that's the ONLY place that should have term limits—why not the State House, Don?

This event is tonight at Virginia Highland Church. No RSVP necessary. Please join me there and say hi.

NEXT: On Monday, September 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., join Shelia and Peter for a candidate forum where you can hear their views about energy and data centers and ask questions. This is a great way to meet the candidates in person.

Are you concerned about high power bills, data centers, and climate change? Then let's kick out the Republicans on the Georgia Public Service Commission who are enabling those problems. If you're near Decatur, you can meet our Democratic candidates this Saturday: www.mobilize.us/dekalbcounty...

Join Peter Hubbard and Shelia Edwards in Madison, Georgia this Saturday, September 19 for “Dogs for Democracy” UGA game day watch party from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (before the game begins).

Looks like Georgia Republicans will never let cronyism go. They will always choose the most unqualified person to fill the most important of roles because of power and money. What the hell does a utility CEO know about education? ZERO.

Are you a Georgia Power customer and received a post card from them telling you that your rates won't go up because of data centers? "They pay more so you pay less." Nonsense. YOU'RE paying more. I think everyone should know the truth.

Solar didn’t simply wake up one morning more affordable. Research, innovation, and investment drove costs down by 90% in 15 years. Today, wind and solar are far cheaper than fossil-fuel alternatives.

On Thursday the Atlanta Journal Constitution published an article that Georgia is now the number one state for data centers. This is the entirely predictable result of Republican leadership in Georgia prioritizing Georgia Power's agenda to maximize profits. www.ajc.com/business/202...

Georgia has no peers for data center construction. It now leads the US.

No other place in the United States currently has as much data center space under construction as the Atlanta area, according to new data from real estate services firm CBRE.

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee is the first Democrat targeted by the Invest in Tomorrow Coalition, which has notched wins against clean energy foes in GOP primaries. #energysky www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...

Everyone needs to understand why data centers are flocking to Georgia: Kemp & Republican state legislators passed a bill to incentivize data centers to come here for zero state and local taxes on expensive data equipment and construction costs. ajc.com/politics/202...

How Brian Kemp became the champion of Georgia’s data center future

Governors from Texas to Pennsylvania are pausing data center development in response to voters' concerns. But Kemp, who leaves office in January, is defending the industry.

This problem is not that hard to solve. Tell your mayor or person in charge of Dorchester that they will make the police stop this problem or you will remove them in the next election. Then do it.

There are around 10 drivers who deliberately drive to make as much noise as possible in Dorchester on a daily basis. Removing them would dramatically increase the quality of life here. The police do nothing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

August is the 3-year anniversary since Georgia Power built the first nuclear reactor in 30 years in the United States. It is the most expensive power plant ever built on Earth, clocking in at $36.8 Billion. Just obscene. My essay clarifies why.

This is the sickest decision from a completely corrupt Supreme Court and completely evil set of people who should have never been near political power that I can imagine. I am sorry you have to experience it first hand. And that this is happening.

Today at the PSC, staff is reviewing a contract between OpenAI and Georgia Power regarding the Effingham County data center. If staff object to it, commissioners will review it in a hearing. But if they don't, the contract is automatically approved. Here's where exploitation hides in this contract:

When I first approached AJC Opinion Editor David Plazas several months ago, he agreed to publish an essay explaining how Georgia Power will soon shift the costs of serving massive data centers onto the rest of us. As the data center landscape changed, I updated the piece several times.

Georgia Republicans have had a trifecta leadership for 20 years - Republican governors and both chambers of the general assembly. Also 100% control of the Georgia Public Service Commission. Let’s see where we are: 1. Last place for health insurance coverage 2. First place for data center pipeline

I’d love for you to join me on Sunday, August 9, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Manuel’s Tavern for a fundraiser supporting House District 44 candidate Danielle Bell. Why support a candidate outside your district? Because when it comes to energy reform in Georgia, House District 44 affects us all.

Happy anniversary to Georgians paying big Georgia Power bills: three years ago today Georgia Power raised residential and small business rates 7.8% to begin paying for Plant Vogtle reactor unit 3. One regulator was so moved that he wrote an essay about his feelings. www.powermag.com/blog/a-star-...

Yesterday, OpenAI announced they were building the biggest AI data center in the country in Effingham County, Georgia, at an enormous cost of $20 billion. "Camellia" will require an astonishing 3.2 gigawatts of electricity, far larger than Plant Vogtle's two new reactors that opened in 2024.
