filisterLas Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer
Currently, an agreement is under review to ensure that 70% of the Sphere’s power needs will come from solar sources, with the other 30% from non-renewable energy that will be offset by renewable energy credits.
Nevada has pledged to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050, and the solar project under construction to help offset its energy debt is estimated to complete in 2027.
How stupid is it that somebody can claim “Net Zero” greenhouse gas emissions when 30% of their power is greenhouse gas.
Just gonna throw this out there. Fuck credits, charge a carbon tax.
InfiniteWisdomAs a registered financial advisor and ecologist, this is a pretty bad take. This is indirect usage of greenhouse gas emissions, aka from a 3rd party not directly involved with the product. It’s like when you painstakingly wait 9 months for your wife has a kid which turns out to not be yours, can you really take the blame? Overall, hope to reduce carbon editions to 0 by 2050 more than reducing my wife’s late abortion rate #GoGreen #ReduceCarbonEmissions
I get the ecology part, but what does being a financial advisor have to do with anything? Also, what career path led you to do both?
