The future of power in America is obvious. State governments will make corrupt deals with data centers and factories to keep their electricity costs low, and raise prices on residential users to compensate until poor families are priced out.
Buy your solar panels now. Before electricity changes from a right to a privilege.
I used to work in automation and it’s amazing how much waste is created just in the process of creating an automated assembly line.
My company built lines that required power to motors and devices than used up to 600 volts of power. Computers and sensors everywhere. The newer lines tend to have so much more crammed into them to increase production of units. More robots and tools means more power required. Power was usually not shut off during any downtime unless we were working on something that needed to be disconnected.
The automation field is pretty amazing until I stepped back to really notice how wasteful and unsustainable automation is.
I had to leave the industry. It’s become clear to me that automation is far too destructive to the environment. Corporations and businesses have no care to make automation cleaner or more sustainable.
I don’t know how people can expect automation to create more green energy equipment when automation itself is so dirty and demanding.
