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?
Nothing. Just the application process. I don't know if they can be completely off the grid. I think it has to have the ability to import or export to the main grid, but I don't know if that's a regulatory requirement or just good design practice.
I was checking to see if this had made it to the Alberta Major Projects website yet. It hasn't, but there's a smaller version being constructed in Balzac;
It includes it's own 90mW power generation plant. Just a baby compared to what these guys are talking, but these places are obviously a real thing. I wonder if Alberta's lack of seismic activity is part of the attraction.
Edit....I read more deeply my own link. This eStruxture company already has 2 of these in the Calgary area. I am clearly late to the party when it comes to what's going on in Alberta with data centers.

It's possible that one is related to this?
It says this would be a slow rolling 15 year long project.
Listen...I think, unfortunately, that the last thing we should be doing is combining SkyNet, The Matrix and the UCP...those groups just have too much in common.
That is genuine 'End of Days' type stuff.
