A new NERC report warns large parts of the U.S., from the Midwest to Texas, face heightened blackout risks this summer due to surging electricity demand, extreme heat, and an aging grid. The rapid rise in data centers and delays in grid upgrades threaten

we can't even supply what we have and data center growth is just increasing. We are a brilliant species we definitely need more EVs whether we have the charging stations or not

That's like when you're running down hill and your face is running faster than your legs are.

@Gibbon I've done it going down a steep hill on a skateboard. I thought to myself, "I better jump off this thing before something bad happens". 😆

@Bang5luts I ended up hitting my belly hard too and unknowingly bruised my spleen.
The next day at school I was feeling bad and released from class I passed out in the hall. I woke up in the hospital with my dad standing beside me in a bed and a doctor on the other side of me my bare belly covered in road rash. My face didn't get as much as it could have just small cheek spot and edge of nose.

@Bang5luts Yeah. Imagine your running down a fairly steep paved hill and your legs are running like hell and you can't slow down. You now need to go faster and your mind is panicking and you're body is suddenly going faster than your legs can keep up. Your knees collapse and it's oh sh-t time. As you're hitting the pavement your mind is still going over when you came off the back and your legs were bookin and you thought you were going to make it and as! body stops sliding on the street you realize your legs need to go at least twice as fast as they were. I never should have gotten on the back of that bike.
