    I recently had a tour of the Redmond campus. They have multiple geothermal wells for power as well as an air conditioning system that uses almost no energy, it was pretty neat.

      Too bad all that cool stuff is negligible compared to what actually makes a difference

        With huge campuses some business have, I wouldn’t call it negligible. Unless you yourself are running a huge business campus and have some insight on how these noobs should be doing it. 😅

          Like making a datacenter so hungry it needs an obsolete nuclear plant, yeah. They should be building new nuclear for existing datacenters.

            The nuclear plant isn’t obsolete… it’s a PWR and with modern fuel cell designs it can reach the same efficiency as modern plants
