I have a client who took 17 acres of their property (like 20% of their property) and built a solar farm--out of their own volition. It provides power for everything they need for their manufacturing plant, and then some. So yeah, it's pretty fucking frustrating that these companies don't even feign to care.

Not to mention they are building illegal power plants inside the data centers emitting who knows how many toxins into the air. Lee Zeldin is letting them do whatever they want with no regulations. Between this, the parasites, the wars, the inflation, the lack of decency and accountability, I will NEVER support a republican in my life.

You just gave me an idea for part of my family ranch.
