Georgians - This is an immediate, winnable fight


Recommended Posts

So, there is a tiny election going on that affects how the AI-centric electrical capacity will be funded: that split between by households or by the big techs.  But, it's also something that can be easily won with some attention.  With all the incessant doom and gloom on this board (*and for valid fucking reasons), it would be nice to have a win in the next two weeks.  

So, please consider voting in this seemingly meaningless election that is occurring this month.  Watch the video.  Share the video.  Reach out to friends in Georgia and implore them to do likewise.  What the fuck else are you going to do?

Okay I ain't watchin all that. There's an election in November. Early voting in October. Who or what should Georgia vote for, or against?

Appealing to Georgia fans’ intelligence is like appealing to Putin‘s humanity. I mean, you can do it, but the future negative result is already ordained.

I guess I should have provided a quick synopsis: 

Two of the five seats of the Georgia Public Service Commission is on the ballot for Nov 4th. They are the only thing on the ballot, so turnout is expected to be miniscule.  Currently, all five seats are held by Republicans, despite Georgia being a purplish state.  This commission regulates the utilities for Georgia.  The private companies (Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company) have monopolies which are regulated in what additional capacity the build, what the capacity includes, and what rates they can charge.  They very much want a "pro-business" commission and have invested in re-electing the Republicans. But, with the tiny turnout, any kind of grassroots campaign can help turn the tide.  

So, please contact folks you know in Georgia and urge them to vote for Alicia Johnson and Pete Hubbard.  This will affect their utility bills, and I don't think people understand how big of a deal that will be in the next five years.

So it's like our PUC but they are elected and not appointed by the governor? Must be nice to have some accountability.
