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.”

That's why it will be built. RIP Utah

There's actually need for this or they just want to fuck the environment to scam some investors?

Look at Elon musk's gigashit, it's a tenth of this size and because it was underused he was forced to rent it to the competition (anthropic) to pay the bills.

I'd hate to say it but that useless loser should stick to acting or boating.

Americans will just outsource this environmental costs to someone else and call it a day.

Carbon offset credits. You just buy them and then the CO2 goes away because someone else will plant a tree probably somewhere. /s

Oh burning more fuel, you having a laugh mare?

Seriously anyone who thinks more carbon in the atmosphere is going to help may as well be in the loony bin.

Also sorry as a Canadian this idiot got vaulted to the world stage. He's a moron as far as I can tell.

I'm just nobody though,but who can understand impact of climate change and the harm we're doing to our world. So piss off with that idea until it produces a way to run without impacting our environment. If somehow you can then hats off to ya, I'd say I'd eat my hat but I really don't want to and I'm a man of my word.

Mean I'd like to say worse and don't expect anything but if somehow it can be better than thank them all. If not, fuck off for the advertisement I've seen enough commercials.

What type of atom bombs?
There should be a difference in heat generation depending on the blasting power.
Well, well...
