Complicating matters, #tech companies are approaching multiple #power utility providers …seeking multiple bids for the same project, inflating power demand outlooks….

"What we're seeing is this huge proposed influx of these abstract projects that nobody knows anything about," Jon Gordon, a director at the *clean* #energy trade group, Advanced Energy United, whose members include clean power & large energy users like #DataCenters.

A Reuters survey of 13 major US #electric utility earnings transcripts found nearly ½ have received inquiries from #DataCenter companies for volumes of #power that would exceed their peak demand or existing generation capacity - that's everything they supply to homes & businesses - a metric that reflects the sheer size of oncoming data center needs.

#Technocracy is a form of government in which the decision-makers are selected based on their relevant expertise, with a preference for those with scientific/technical knowledge. The idea is that said people would treat a nation's problems as a series of 'engineering challenges' for which they would use the scientific method to discover not only the optimal solution, but the optimal manner in which to achieve it—free of bias, ignorance, or vested interest.

RationalWikiTechnocracyTechnocracy is a form of government in which the decision-makers are selected based on their relevant expertise, with a preference for those with scientific/technical knowledge. The general idea is that said people would treat a nation's problems as a series of 'engineering challenges' for which they would use the scientific method to discover not only the optimal solution, but the optimal manner in which to achieve it — free of bias, ignorance, or vested interest. This could be considered a form of meritocracy if those technocrats selected were selected on their previous professional achievements (though this makes the assumption that the educational/scientific 'ladders' available won't be biased against certain groups, such as women or the poor).

#Technocracy. Any Questions?

"For thousands of years, people have known how to grow food, sew clothing, treat sickness with food and herbs, build shelters, and survive.

It only took 2 generations to all but erase those skills from humanity and make people completely dependent on the system."

The answer is: It makes you a dependent slave to "experts" and their owners. It's #Authoritarianism with pretty packaging and force-fed marketing of lifestyles making #richpigs richer, and you? Stupider.

How the early 20th century US Technocratic Movement (with its company Technocracy Inc.) prefigured much of today's Silicon Valley ideas of technological singularity and tech oligarchies, including the US annexation of Canada: my co-worker Eva Visser, tutor at Hogeschool Rotterdam, has been working on her PhD thesis on this topic for many years. It is now more relevant than ever. In this blog post she gives a preview of her historical research:

michaelrasche.euAmerican Expansionism & the Technate of AmericaIn her doctoral thesis at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, historian and philosopher Eva Visser is researching the ‘technocrats’, a controversial and banned North American movement from the 1930s. Much of what this group wanted to achieve is now appearing as goals of the US government. An exciting historical view: to understand the present, you have to look into the past.

@JustTooOdd
I think that anyone that's been following the Political Compass for the last 10 or more years could see this coming. Anyone familiar with what Technocracy (www.technate.org) has been saying for nearly a century would say that this was inevitable, without adopting a non-monetary economic system like Technocracy. The opportunity for changing course is closing fast. Democracy has proven unable to stop this kind of power grab, as we were warned it would be. Both this article and the Political Compass show that this is happening around the world, not just in the US. It is just the nature of the monetary Price System.
