Said another way windmills and solar panels won’t do the job. Not too sure this will even be a country at the end of the decade at the rate we’re going anyway.
Big data/tech needs its own electrical generators.
This was derived from a satire article, that unfortunately I cannot find.
but of course like the Bee there is some truthiness.
I have been alive for the whole curve, since the valves gave way to mosfets, to chip packaged transistors.
a while ago someone gave me an Amd MI200 AI card to play with.

Heating up the near-shore oceans. What could possibly go wrong?

Mining digital coin is a huge power draw.
Plug in a supercomputer.
Tear down a dam.
What could possibly go wrong?
Putting the entire DC underwater is an interesting idea. Problems is, all that heat being pumped into the water is going to eventually cause algae blooms. The environmental wackos are going to go ape-shit about that.
One would think there would be ways to put all that generated heat to doing useful work, like perhaps generating some electricity that can be used to reduce the load on the grid that a datacenter introduces.
