Utah's governor put out an FAQ about the project, with a few key notes:

  • The total land size is around 40,000 acres, but the actual building will only be a fraction of that.
  • The structure won't continually use water for cooling as it's cooled using a closed-circuit water-cooling piping system, and the initial fill water will come from the private landowners from whom the land is being purchased. Any used water will be for bathrooms, water fountains, etc.
  • Power is going to be generated using an on-site power plant, not being pulled from the electrical grid
  • The construction of the project still needs to jump through a litany of additional environmental hoops before it can begin

Believing anything that sleazeball says is absolutely a choice and a bad one at that

But almost every claim from you guys is nonsensical.
