Yet Silicon Valley entrepreneurs still overwhelmingly support Democrats.

Strange times.

Odd, seeing as how all of the gadgets and software they produce, all run on equipment that requires electricity to operate. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, and being hypocrites to boot. Count the number of diesel backup generators at one their massive data centers, and then ask them why they didn't use “green energy” sources instead.

There's a reason why all of the big data centers are located in odd locations. Follow the grid tie lines from the hydroelectric plants on the Columbia river south into california for starters.

Computer and telcom equipment are the most inefficient users of electric power, next to battery charging.
