I heard this thing drains more power than half the homes in Nevada
28 megawatts at peak. Enough power for 21,000 homes.
bUt iTS soLaR!
Reminds me of those AI centers that drain the grid and suck up all the municipal water, only to run a fortune in PR about being Green.
As though using a Three Mile Island's worth of electricity is doing the rest of the world a favor.
Also me and my family were gonna go to the sphere and turns out part of it is essentially a climate change lecture, and my family had the collective reaction of “ah yes, let’s discuss climate change in the orb that has enough power to remain easily visible in the direct desert sun”
So yeah that was interesting to hear
If they do say "but it's solar", then that's greenwashing. All power consumption has an opportunity cost: that solar could have gone into the grid and offset some coal power, but instead it's wasted which means more (or at least.. "not less") coal usage somewhere else. wasting power isn't fine just because it was renewable. By that logic we could plug all the solar panels in the world into electric space heaters and waste all the power and that would just be fine since "it's solar".
I don't know why it didn't occur to me before this foggy photo, but that thing sure is cyberpunk dystopian, huh?
Name something that isn't.
Jupiter
Has been under constant surveillance by government satellites.
I have a mole on my ass that looks kind of like a heart
