Waste heat and electricity usage are the same. Atom bombs are not SI units.

The funniest part is how obviously this is a pump and dump. There’s no fucking way this guy has $500B+ to blow on this shit, and banks aren’t gonna give it to him because they’re already choking on the debt they have. At best he’ll rob a few investors blind, but there’s no fucking way this gets built. Ever.

‘So much worse than I even thought’: Utah’s ‘hyperscale’ data center could create massive heat island near Great Salt Lake
