It has been known, contrary to politicians, and chambers of commerce, for two … Read more
Regarding what some have called the “sell-out” that is otherwise known as 1999 Maryland electric deregulation / generation divestiture, here’s the religious/Catholic/Vatican/Jesuit angle of the four top Maryland power figures who were in-charge / most influential at that time, in those machinations — Short finding All four had Catholic affiliation or Catholic institutional ties. Easily … Read more
“”Datacenter Dangers #13 – Datacenter Hell in Maryland’s Agricultural Preserve – SkyNet, and the “New LAIy Lines””One Datacenter proposed for Dickerson, Maryland is admittedly gauged to consume 75% of the county’s current power — so that’s a near-doubling of power consumption of the entire county; however, this power is to be concentrated in a land … Read more

Milham and Dirty Electricity Samuel Milham’s definition of “dirty electricity” is broader than classic IEEE 519 harmonics. He focuses on: His 2013 paper states: “Dirty electricity … is high-frequency voltage transients riding along the 50 or 60 Hz electricity provided by electric utilities.” Milham and Stetzer associated dirty electricity with: and proposed that electrical pollution … Read more
IEEE 519 is essentially the electric-grid equivalent of a noise ordinance, but it only applies to one of the three known kinds of noise pollution caused by datacenters. Here is an examination of the IEEE519. IEEE 519 is essentially the electric-grid equivalent of a noise ordinance. Instead of loud music disturbing your neighbors, it addresses … Read more
Well-water is often acidic / not “pH neutral” (~7.0 – 7.4 pH) and must be corrected (“neutralized) to avoid leaching copper and lead from copper/soldered pipes and otherwise damaging plumbing. Acidic well-water is often “neutralized” using calcite. Calcite is a naturally occurring calcium carbonate media. One of the advantages of Calcite is its self-limiting property. … Read more
All claims sourced with mainstream / scientific/peer-reviewed papers. The planned five massive server warehouses would admittedly consume the equivalent of 75% of current county residential electrical use. 360 MW concentrated at one Dickerson site raises legitimate ground-current / power-quality questions, especially in a rural/agricultural setting. A 360 MW data-center cluster is large enough that ground … Read more
I am a county commissioner. My soul is not for sale. These corporations are getting NDAs with our townships and villages to conduct land purchases secretly. When I became aware of it, I brought the health concerns to the villages/townships in my district. In Michigan, we are not allowed to ban data centers as a … Read more
