Central Ohio's Energy Needs Contingency Strategies
Women's basketball, WNBA – yep, it's having a moment, and we're thrilled to see it! Stands are filling, sponsors are scribbling checks, and there's an unmistakably growing appreciation for the nuances of the women's game. And it's not just basketball; women's volleyball is riding that wave of popularity, too. We're all in on protecting the integrity of women's sports, ensuring that they remain a pure competition for female athletes. With the WNBA relatively new on the block, we can sense the potential whirling around it. We hope the support continues to skyrocket, just like Caitlin Clark’s impressive career is bound to do after her WNBA draft.
You might've heard about the Ashtabula case involving two women, a deceased man, and, strangely enough, a bank transaction. Theft and abuse of a corpse are not terms you expect to cross paths with often!
In more sobering news, we've touched upon the looming cloud of commercial real estate foreclosures, a poignant reminder of COVID's lasting impacts. Downtowns are thinning, businesses are shuttering, and office spaces might soon turn into apartments. It speaks volumes about our ever-changing environment, nudging us toward a new normal that's still figuring itself out.
And we couldn't wrap without talking about some power dynamics, literally. Ohio, brace yourself for the data center boom! AEP is predicting a power demand surge, leading us to ponder over the reality of electricity shortages in our near future. As we advocate for a smart mix of energy solutions, one thing's clear – planning our energy future is as crucial as it gets.
Until next time, folks, stay grounded, stay informed, and let's keep that Common Sense rolling.
