Bleeding Heartland
Tuesday, Jul 6 2021
Catching up on some news from before the holiday weekend: a competitive Democratic primary is shaping up for an open Iowa Senate seat covering part of Cedar Rapids. Four-term State Representative Liz Bennett confirmed on June 30 that she will run for the district that State Senator Rob Hogg has represented since 2007. Hogg won’t seek re-election in 2022, he announced last month. Iowa has yet to adopt a new political map, but this district will cover some part of the city of Cedar Rapids.
Bennett is the ranking Democrat on the Iowa House Economic Growth Committee and a member of the Human Resources, Natural Resources, and Information Technology committees, as well as the Transportation, Infrastructure and Capitals Appropriations subcommittee. Having won four previous state legislative races, she will be the early favorite in the Iowa Senate primary.

Taking over the old SunPower solar panel factory, NTT now has all your selfies, streams and shopping history in one place.
Data centers are really in the business of selling electricity. Think of them as a large charging brick with lots of outputs.
On Feb. 25, NTT Global Data Centers opened part one of a planned five data center campus on 47 acres in Hillsboro. The first space is a retrofit of the SunPower solar panel factory, but the next four will be new construction.
The companies that need data centers everyone from the tech giants like Amazon and Intel to mid-sized companies that have outsourced their computing needs to the cloud need stable power. No spikes, and certainly no interruptions.
