The McConnell Mystery: Mitch McConnell, the Senate’s very own George Washington, minus the wooden teeth but with apparently just as many old-timey ideas, is blocking the SAVE Act from reaching a vote. Back in his day, he was head honcho of the Senate Republican Conference for 17 whole years. Now, apparently he thinks blocking an act supported by over 80% of Americans is a good way to spend retirement. What's the SAVE Act Anyway?

Except, that’s too straightforward or something, since McConnell’s handlers decided stopping the act dead in its tracks was a brilliant political move.

The fact that these companies are citing mega-watt-consuming data centers for the bill inflation seems almost as shocking as the price spike itself. This causes political pressure to rise faster than the grid's energy load. PJM Pact Pushes Back on Ratepayer Burden January marked a turning point with a pact that demands the nation's largest grid operator put the financial onus for new generation capacity on…
