The Stratos artificial intelligence datacenter footprint will cover more than 40,000 acres (62 sq miles) over three sites in Box Elder county in north-western Utah. The facility will require about 9GW of power, which is more than the entire state of Utah currently consumes, and suck up a significant amount of water in an area that has been hit by severe drought in recent years.
To be fair, there are a lot of unhinged people who resort to actual death threats for shit that in no way deserves that level of intensity. It’s probably one of the big reasons why everyone who’s actually smart enough to run a city/state/country is also smart enough not to.
