@freya@social.highenergymagic.net I also wonder often about the copper. 9GW seems beyond the beyond. How many years would the build take, over which time copper continues to dwindle sharply in supply? Not to mention Lithium for the acres of batteries they'll need for UPSs. Diesel for generators, enough to power a whole town? I just don't see how a single customer could secure all that.
It is indeed plausible $massivedatacenter is just investor cocaine for pump and dump market play.
