9GW should be the compute load goal, to which you need to add the mechanical and administrative loads. At higher scales they gain significant efficiencies which translates to market advantages.

Not that it would matter for this conversation, but at hyperscalers levels, the energy required for mechanical loads is under 20% of the compute load. Wouldn't surprise me if ~10% can be achieved at multi GW scale. Thus about 11GW total energy.

Kevin is a POS and I really doubt this DataCenter will ever be built. Having said that, this article is also full of fearmongering trash.

”Turn out, it could create a massive heat island capable of devastating the area’s ecology, said Robert Davies, a physics professor at Utah State University.”

This is as relevant today as it was in 1987.

Stay way, it is way too addictive. If you are not careful you will end automating from window blinds to toilets.

I remember once I had to work in a very sophisticated and expensive electrical gear that had fixed internal thermographic cameras. The first thing that popped in the HMI were the VLC cones.

Wow. This is absolutely has to be the reason. There is nothing better than a recurrent revenue stream. Look at Spotify, Netflix business model.

Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.

Who might have thought that MAGA DEI think was a excuse for open racism. 🤔

The only explanation that makes sense to me is that this is a law to:

1. get bribes or favors from telecom equipment manufacturers.
2. Create a framework to force backdoors into consumer equipment.
3. Force users to use ISP provided equipment.

Me too, I was waiting for a good deal in a GMKtec EVO-X2, but that is not going to happen.
