Given that meritocracy is no longer a thing, who would want to be an engineer, in any field ???

We now provide "cheap" electric to datacenters

What really angers me, as an Ohio resident, is that AEP just increased their rates. Moreover, the regional authority, PJM, threatened rolling black-outs this summer, while Google and Facebook datacenters in central Ohio suck down enormous amounts of power. It's enough to cause a riot.
