@wsyx6 Currently at least 80% of the building expenses leave the state. Ohio should get at least half of the CapEx by requiring local suppliers and contractors. Water consumption can be cut by 90% with Adiabatic air cooling systems.
Will the 140 datacenters being built in Texas affect ranches? Grok: "Prairie grass and creeks in high-construction rural areas will likely face noticeable incremental stress—more frequent dry creeks, reduced grass vigor, and competition with ranching—especially in the Panhandle and West Texas over the next 20 years. Statewide, it’s a manageable fraction if cooling tech improves and planning catches up."
@ParkerM_Energy@aargreen@DavidSacks That looks like a good solution but how do you guarantee they don't just pump water out of the ground like this site did? https://t.co/t7ayP6Mz7A
@k_rluna@DavidSacks Perhaps they're not talking about the water because its the limiting factor that they don't yet have a solution for. Air cooling like O'leary's project in Utah is another possible solution but if you want silence a closed loop deep lake geothermal system is the fix.
That's true for the part that cools the chips, then it goes into a heat exchanger which then has to be cooled by either evaporative water or a more expensive closed loop system. If drilled goethermal it would get very expensive, the only low fully cost closed loop solution is a rock quarry.
@realCreabsley@DavidSacks Show us the debunk data. For the first time in history Ohio has water restrictions because of the recent expansion. https://t.co/vRKbRKfXvO
