THEY’RE PROBABLY TRYING TO CREATE OPTICS FOR THE GOP AS UGLY AS THE DEMS’ LIKELY REPLAY OF CHICAGO ’68: Secret Service Won’t Budge in Moving Security Zone Farther From GOP Convention in Milwaukee. “Republican officials met with the Secret Service and strongly urged them to move the free speech zone further than a quarter mile from the venue. The agency refused.”
Georgia’s main utility, Georgia Power, has boosted its demand projections sixteen-fold and is pushing ahead on a hotly contested plan to burn more natural gas. Critics warn it will yield higher bills and unnecessary carbon emissions for decades. Some companies are scrambling to secure bespoke renewable-energy deals to power their development.
One major source of disruption is data centers. The facilities are ballooning in size as people spend more of their waking hours online and companies digitize everything from factory processes to fast-food drive-throughs. All that computing requires power—and for firms like DC Blox to lock it in as quickly as possible. . . .
Similar quandaries are rippling through other hubs of the new American economy, with utilities in Tennessee and the Carolinas forecasting their own unexpected surges in load growth. U.S. power usage is projected to expand by 4.7% over the next five years, according to a review of federal fillings by the consulting firm Grid Strategies. That is up from a previous estimate of 2.6%.
The projections come after efficiency gains kept electricity demand roughly flat over the past 15 years, allowing the power sector to limit emissions in large part through coal-plant closures.
“We haven’t seen this in a generation,” said Arne Olson, a senior partner at consulting firm Energy and Environmental Economics. “As an industry, we’ve almost forgotten how to deal with load growth of this magnitude.”
Yeah, it shows.
DON SURBER: Even Obama won’t speak at Harvard. “Keep it up. We’re winning. The first and most prestigious college in America now is such a pariah that even Barack Hussein Obama apparently turned down giving this year’s Class Day keynote speech, according to the Harvard Crimson.”
COLUMBIA: Columbia faces suit for not protecting custodians from ‘bratty’ agitators.
The union is “exploring legal action against the university and the Hamilton Hall occupiers,” wrote Samuelson in a letter to Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, reports Greg Norman. The union demanded the names of protesters arrested in the building.
Custodian Mario Torres, 45, was photographed pushing one of the intruders against a wall. He was trying to “protect the building,” he told Francesca Block of the Free Press. “He had a Columbia hoodie on, and I managed to rip that hoodie off of him and expose his face.”
The intruder was “a 40-year-old trust fund kid named James Carlson,” writes Block. He was charged with five felonies, including burglary and reckless endangerment.
He found out.

Really neat how some 20-year-old singer is responsible for Israeli policy but Palestinians in Gaza are not responsible for anything Hamas does. https://t.co/rfkhqiYmyL

HAMAS USES CIVILIAN SHIELDS, WHICH BY DEFINITION IS A WAR CRIME: This war is like few others because the crucial theater is underground; Hamas is often underground, the Israelis are often aboveground, with Hamas seeking to position civilians directly between them.
Or if you prefer, the only value Hamas sees in Palestinian civilians is as casualties to use as weapons in its propaganda war.
