UCP: Cancels and loses billions in green energy investments

UCP: Begins data centre mega project that it can't power

UCP: Well! So much for green energy, huh!?!?!?!

Isn't O'Leary's claim to fame selling his kyitty Kumon books to a corporation?

O’Leary is just a minor level Trump wannabe. Piece of #### loser has way more money than me though, so…I guess I’ve missed the memo on how to put into action re: #######=rich

Soo.. remote enough that we'll have time to prepare for the inevitable skynet situation?

And Edmonton serving as the necessary sacrifice to buy humanity time.

This seems like it will never get built and it’s a massive, massive grift.

The service provider for the Fibre optical line that runs through there is Canadian Fibre. From my experience with it, it wouldn't be reliable enough to Run the world's largest AI data center with.

National Observer: Kevin O'Leary is selling a $70 billion fantasy. Alberta is all-in

Quote:
Where they’d actually come together, according to the map in the video, is a parcel of land near Highway 40, more than half an hour from the bustling metropolis of Grande Prairie. It will have access to some nearby stranded gas assets, which could theoretically be used to provide some of the electricity that the facility would consume. But at full capacity, it would require 7.5 gigawatts of power, which is almost 40 per cent of what the entire Alberta grid can currently provide — and that’s with increasingly frequent brownouts and some of the highest electricity prices in Canada.

Its funny, you saw that as the oddest thing and I think "the bustling metropolis of Grande Prairie" as the oddest statement

100% that O'Leary is going to be the next leader of the UCP. They only attract the best.

If you attach a hose to the base of your driver's seat and route that hose to the intake charge pipe in the engine bay, you can turn taco farts into horsepower. Meth(ane) injection, baby!

I'm currently working on a data center thst will go in Texas right now. When I heard the power usage on it, my thought was electric vehicles are nothing compared to this.

The best time to build nuclear power plants was 25 years ago.

The second best time is now.

Canada has the largest deposit of uranium in the world.

Spoiler!

I mean assuming money and investment isn't an issue, what is stopping them from building off-grid natural gas power plants that literally only power this facility?
