McCormick details the $92B energy and AI investment wave transforming Pennsylvania, including Homer City's 4.4GW conversion. Welders earn $100K+. Fetterman warns the US is only 6–8 months ahead of China in AI, making a data center moratorium a China-first policy.
$92 billion of investment committed at McCormick's summit. Welders and electricians earning over $100K a year. Data centers generating 2 logistics jobs for every direct job. Pennsylvania is experiencing a genuine blue-collar construction boom, and the trades are all-in.
At McCormick's Energy Innovation Summit in Pennsylvania last July, $92 billion of investment was committed by energy and AI companies.
A Homer City, Pennsylvania coal plant is being converted to natural gas, producing 4.4 gigawatts — 3.4 GW for a data center complex, 1 GW back to the grid.
Opposition to data centers isn't just NIMBYism — McCormick says it's largely being driven by China and outside forces funding misinformation campaigns. The playbook mirrors the anti-fracking campaign from 15 years ago. Then it took 15 years to get to 80% public support. The US doesn't have 15 years in the AI race.
McCormick said Pennsylvania has the fourth-largest natural gas reserves in the world — if it were a country, it would rank number four globally.
The US is only 6 to 8 months ahead of China in the AI race. A Democratic push for a data center moratorium would hand that lead to Beijing. Fetterman calls it a 'China first' policy and says the choice is binary: America builds the AI chassis, or China does.
Greenberg's research mapped all human intrinsic values and found they cluster into 22 categories, including longevity, connection, nature, and spirituality.
Performing composure is not the same as having composure — emotionally sensitive people who suppress their feelings are acting a role, not resolving the underlying feeling.
Emotional sensitivity is the raw input signal and emotional intelligence is the cultivated output — meaning sensitivity is a prerequisite for high EQ, not an obstacle to it.
Men who appear emotionally avoidant are frequently emotionally sensitive individuals who were never given tools or permission to explore their sensitivity, so they default to withdrawal.
Being ghosted is particularly damaging for sensitive people because their brain doesn't interpret it as the relationship ending — it interprets it as evidence of personal insufficiency.
Kierkegaard's concept of anxiety as 'the dizziness of freedom' predates Freud's psychological framework by roughly 60 years, yet modern research has since validated his core claims about commitment and identity.
Between 2003 and 2020, Americans accumulated roughly 24 extra hours per month spent alone — the equivalent of a part-time job's worth of isolation, and that's before the pandemic.
Median age at first marriage climbed from 21 (women) and 23 (men) in the 1970s to nearly 29 (women) and 30 (men) today — a rise of 6–8 years per gender, extending the 'emerging adulthood' liminal phase.
San Francisco's average rent rose 18% over the past two years to $3,728/month, surpassing New York City as the most expensive rental market in the country.
