The total global electricity consumption from data centers could reach more than 1,000 terawatt-hours in 2026 —that's roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of Japan
In order to have a significant impact on the digital sector's energy consumption, the objective is to deploy 1,300 building blocks by 2050 to achieve 1 gigawatt
The target is to have the first eco-launcher ready by 2035 and then to allow for 15 years of deployment in order to have the huge capacity required to make the project feasible
They couldn't even keep up Project Natick, and at least that was fixable in theory.
Sure, some hoops, but not as much as having to service something in fucking space when the universe has thrown whateverthefuck at it.
Also, you know, in space you're just creating a lot more fucking problems for yourself and for others, aren't you?
Winterson estimates that even a small 1 megawatt center in low earth orbit would need around 280,000 kilograms of rocket fuel per year at a cost of around $140 million in 2030 — a calculation based on a significant decrease in launch costs, which has yet to take place.
... yeah.
