They're putting data centers in near me (they have been heavily protested, but of course that doesn't do shit, the local government holds lots of meetings that are crowded with people saying they don't want them, and then they shrug and approve them anyway. The last meeting I heard about they just flat out cancelled because too many people were planning on coming and speaking against it). I got a letter from my power company that they're raising electric rates, and would I like to contribute to a fund to help pay other people's bill?
Replace them. Either recruit a candidate or run yourself. Ignoring your voters should have consequences.
Oh I know exactly how I'm voting next election, but the problem is that I live in a conservative area and these dumb fuckers wouldn't vote for their own self interest if you held a gun to their heads, because if they vote for things that benefit them then a brown person or someone on disability might also benefit.
MAGAts want all to suffer, including themselves, if it also means that POCs, women, LGBTQ+, foreigners, leftists, liberals, and other never-Trumpers suffer.
This conundrum is why America has been continuously turning into a shit hole for the lower classes. It goes all the way back to right after the civil rights movement. By the early 70s, most public pools were filled with concrete (supplemented via private country club pools of course) and white private schools were opened up all over the South to exclude blacks. These examples are just a small part of what has been going on over the last 50+ years.
Not to sidestep it, but at what point is doing personal solar a better deal, if you own that is
Unfortunately I rent an apartment. I'd love to do a solar array on my balcony, but it's small and faces north so I don't think it would be cost effective.
Is electricity where you are much cheaper at night?
