Why does my mini fridge keep tripping my GFCI outlet? Is it a bad motor or is it just never good to put a compressor motor on a GFI?

Edit: Actually this comment made a lot of sense and is making me think through some things. Home run comes into the GFCI outlet first then daisy chains over to where the mini fridge is.

Maybe renewables is not the solution to our energy needs if it can’t scale up like we thought it could. Conservation of energy is not the answer. We as a society must find new, cleaner, sources of energy. Maybe AI can help us do it.

So AI uses energy, and it’s how we are choosing to provide that energy is destructive to the environment? So AI isn’t itself destructive.
