How a #datacenter company uses stranded #renewableenergy
Electric grids across the country don’t always have the capacity to carry all of the energy an intermittent #powerplant can produce. So while at times there’s more than enough wind to produce more power, Belizaire said, there’s no place for that power to go due to aging transmission systems and a lack of local load.
Soluna estimates upwards of 30 to 40% of renewable energy goes unused.

@ekamil The same reason why #META builds a huge #dataCenter in an arid region of #Spain and aggravates the desertification. The land is cheap (no farming possible), the important politicians may be corrupt, the promise for jobs where you have high unemployment, and the public is not interested in what happens "in the nowhere". inspain.news/opening-water-guz

IIRC, there was never a planet the Enterprise crew explored that consisted only of data centers. They did have 'The Cloud Minders' and other abandoned planets, and various robot episodes, but not one where everyone had died on the planet except giant-arse data centers.

Cheyenne's new AI datacenter: 1.8 gigawatts initially, scalable to 10GW. That's enough to power 10 million homes in a state with just 590k people. When AI needs more juice than an entire state's homes, we're definitely living in the future! 🤖⚡

#Amazon pulls Louisa County, #Virginia data center proposal after strong resistance by community members, who railed against a 4th proposed #DataCenter. But concerns remain over 3 others to come, none of which were required to go through the conditional use permitting process that allows for more community input.

No wonder: authorities knew, no doubt, of the strong opposition they would've been met with.

Pure treachery.

But, on the bright side, #resistance works!
