@BigRockInsights @jefflindsay Brigham would build it.
So should we.

A data center uses as much power as a city!
So people want to stop them.
But that’s dumb.
"Electricity replaces human labor and allows us to do more and better things," says @paigelambermont of @ceidotorg.
Here's why we need MORE data centers, not fewer:

The entire state of Utah uses around 35 terrawatt-hours annually.
The Box Elder Hyperscale data center is expected to use more than 78 TWh per year across a 40,000 acre campus in the middle of the desert.
That's the equivalent of building TWO new Utahs in a 62 square-mile box.

@BigRockInsights Just think about how many skilled jobs this will create in a part of the state that could really use the boost.
In the 1900s, you were considered lucky if a big factory decided to build in your sleepy little town.
The 2000s really aren't all that different.

@BigRockInsights actually a good idea. Brings jobs and wealth to the economy. Also tax revenue expected to be $250 million per year. They will build out there own power and water infrastructure. Win Win Win

@BigRockInsights A simple calculation, you can kiss snow peaks goodbye in 5 years
79TW LNG DC: ~175TW heat, ~277Gt CO₂/yr, ~85T gal/yr DC cooling water. The T is for Trillion. The Canadian conman can scream Al he wants for efficient DC, those numbers are based on the most efficient DC and gas
