    Rural Americans are going to idle their trucks to offset the green energy and then complain about gas prices.

      I wish I could understand that shit. Even now as I type this some asshole is idling their truck. This shit goes on all fucking day. I wish i could say it’s only one offender but it’s many. Does the noise make their dicks hard or something? I don’t get it.

        Perhaps it’s the vibration? Or, maybe it gets them high. I’ve never understood huffing, but some people love it.

          Yeah you might be onto something. Most of the time they’re not in the vehicle but derping around near it. Maybe they like killing what’s left of their brain cells.

    So this is a press release, meant to be consumed by interns in a news room to stitch into a barely read story on a news site.

    But reading between the lines, this is $7.3 billion going to improve the grid for a bunch of rural electricity cooperatives, which is pretty great. Moving the energy generated around is a big problem, especially when some weird hippie moves in and puts a ton of solar panels down hoping to sell energy back to the grid.

    (It’s me. I’m the weird hippie. Hopefully, someday.)

      Just because you don’t pay attention doesn’t mean that things aren’t happening
