This AI data center will be bigger than 2,000 Walmarts and dump '23 atom bombs worth of energy' into the environment every day — and locals are terrified

The scale sounds almost unreal. The proposed campus reportedly spans around 40,000 acres in Box Elder County, Utah, an area larger than many major cities.

@gerrymcgovern If this will ever get built, i wonder how this turns out if for example the electricity fails and all the emergency generators (must be hundreds of them) spin up all at once. This is neither eco friendly (most certainly gas powered) nor a silent operation, considering that people live around that area.
This will so drastically devalue your property and your quality of life if you currently live near this area.
When they start construction, you better move far away while you can.

@Brokar @gerrymcgovern they run the data center directly off the emergency generators. No electricity hookup needed.

Oh that's so much better, thank goodness. 😱
