Twice the size of manhattan? Where are we getting this number from? Thats not realistic in any sense. Just three centers place apart from each other and were counting all the deadspace in-between? Why do they need the space in-between?

    They claim the data center is on 62 square miles. Manhattan is 33.6 square miles.

    So that Manhattan figure includes 10.8 sq miles of water.

    Regardless of the building footprint, the 40,000 acres limit of disturbance is impactful to local watersheds. Not to mention the plan it to create a (useless, IMO) device that consumes two-fold the energy as the entire state.
