Op-Ed: Present Scale Of Electrification Unprecedented
By RICK NEBEL
Los Alamos
This letter is a comment on two of the op-ed pieces that appeared in last week’s Los Alamos Daily Post: Robert Gibson’s article (link) and Paul Gessing’s article (link). Mr. Gibson pointed out that electrification is nothing new. However, the present scale of it is unprecedented. Mr. Gessing pointed this out in his article. He congratulated the governor for getting commitments to bring 3 new AI data centers to New Mexico.
The interesting part is that just 1 of those data centers consumes about 7 GW. I don’t have firm numbers on this, but the present total consumption Read More

Dear Councilor Herrmann:
I am extremely grateful that you have requested a discussion about the option of creating a Metropolitan Redevelopment Area (MRA) Commission for the upcoming Jan. 13, 2026, meeting. Currently, the County Council serves as the decision making governing body having authority over the two MRAs in Los Alamos – White Rock and Los Alamos Downtown East.
As you know, I have been a strong advocate for Los Alamos following NM State Statutes governing MRAs and neighboring communities to form a citizen-led MRA Commission.

Fr. Glenn: To See Clearly
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
These days it seems that politics obscures everything. This policy is great/evil; that politician is lionized/vilified depending on what “team” you’re on. And with social and corporate media also taking sides, it becomes much harder to know what is true and what is not—especially with AI able to fabricate any narrative. It’s perplexing that people contort (or ignore) reality when only adhering to reality can bring about best results.
One of the most subtle and dangerous spiritual and temporal temptations is not open rebellion against God or against reality, but self-deception. Read More
