Huh. I wonder what this will do to the great arsenic lake
…and the people of Utah will pay for the increased power costs
I moved from Utah around the time they were having a drought so severe the Governor advised praying for rain.
Anyway, hopefully this doesn’t need too much water. I’m sure it won’t be an issue.
You realize how little that narrows it down
Also maybe they can use all the water they’re pumping out of Heber
If it’s got Kevin O’Leary’s name attached to it you know this is some bullshit technology aimed solely at amassing more wealth. Gee whatddya know.
“The 40,000-acre project will run entirely off-grid using natural gas.”
I wonder how much energy 40,000 acres of solar panels could produce?
Peak output around 5.6GW, and powering about 1.4 million homes.
Or 0.6 mega slop centers
…the campus would reach 9 GW, all produced on-site through a connection to the Ruby Pipeline, a 680-mile interstate natural gas line that crosses northern Utah on its route from Wyoming to Oregon
This is so exciting! Hey Wyoming and Oregon, aren’t you so excited for your natural gas prices to increase?
And I’d be willing to bet that Wyoming and Oregon had even less say in its construction.
burn it down harmonica solo
That’s 7.438 trips back to the future
Great Scott!
But how much water? This winter the Rockies had their lowest recorded precipitation ever
What an asshole
O’Leary Digital is also developing a companion Wonder Valley campus in Alberta, Canada, announced in 2024, which has not yet broken ground.
So this is probably just part of the charade of fake promises to make circular payments between a handful of companies that will not ever even show up in quarterly/annual report or affect planned production by any of the players that would be needed to supply computer hardware to actually make such actually possible like so many other of these projects, presumably to make number-go-up now?
