“I guess everything really is bigger in Texas.
This is Project Matador. This will be the largest data center in the entire world!
To understand the actual size of this, it’s 18 million square feet, okay? You could fit 15 Disneylands inside of this place… 15! It would encompass the whole island of Key West — until you hear how much power is used: 17 gigawatts.
To put that into perspective, it has literally enough power for three Irelands. It requires more power than the whole country of New Zealand — two and a half times over. It would take literally 15 nuclear reactors just to produce enough power for this thing to run.
Don’t worry guys, it only uses nearly 1 billion gallons of water a year just to operate.
Not only that! It’ll literally produce nearly 23.5 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions…
It’ll be 90 to 120 decibels. That’s the equivalent of being next to someone with power tools! Now imagine trying to sleep next to them.
We all need to speak out against these data centers. They’re coming to a town near you.”
