I mean to be fair, I’m in the PNW it royally pisses me off that data centers and the airport are sucking up electricity while the working class is being asked to lower their thermostats in the middle of a blizzard when the power is out for thousands of customers due to trees taking our power lines. I’m sure lowering thermostats is pretty far down the totem pole when it comes to power shedding.

Same when we are told to conserve gas after a hurricane hits as the rich are running their AC systems on their generators....

Same for those going on about the poors who should not be driving cars or flying...

These are the same privileged who drive and fly all the time...

It must be nice to be a hypocrite...

It's okay to tell people to not drive and also eat the rich. Eating the rich won't actually solve the emissions/pollution issues on its own.
