The 23-Atomic-Bomb Valley: Why #Utah’s #AIDataCenter Is A #ClimateDisaster In The Making

"Your state might be next. Utah counties just approved a data center so massive it would consume more power than the entire state currently uses, dump the heat equivalent of 23 atomic bombs daily into high desert, and potentially increase local #carbon emissions by 55%. Welcome to the #StratosProject—#KevinOLeary’s 40,000-acre bet that #AI supremacy trumps everything else."

[...]

"Utah State University physicist Robert Davies calculated #Stratos would dump 16 gigawatts of #ThermalLoad into the surrounding valley—energy equivalent to 23 Hiroshima-scale atomic bombs worth of #heat every single day. You’re trying to cool massive server farms by blowing hot desert air over hot radiators, Davies notes, which doesn’t work well in high-altitude, arid conditions.

"His projections show daytime temperatures rising 2-5°F and nighttime temperatures jumping 8-12°F across the region. #Desert #ecosystems depend on #NighttimeCooling to generate life-sustaining #condensation. Lose that temperature drop, and you’ve fundamentally altered how plants and animals survive in an already stressed #GreatSaltLakeWatershed."

"Ford Motor to receive $464M from feds to pivot to F-series production at Oakville plant after EV plans scrapped"

Huge gas-guzzlers, instead of EVs?

Don't we care about young people with decades of #climateDisaster ahead of them?

What is Carney thinking?

*Subsidizing* carbon emissions?

A new report found that the state’s coastal areas have “crossed the point of no return.”

Ten years ago, these "full-sized" trucks and SUVs would have been considered monsters.

Ramping up the production of monster V8 engines is unconscionable as they drive our climate of a cliff.

Officials hugely underestimated impact of AI datacentres on UK carbon emissions | AI (artificial intelligence) | The Guardian

AI™ is a #climateDisaster

The underestimate was either deliberate or at least wilful ignorance.
