What nobody is talking about here is that there is no more power available in the US. All the FAANGS have scooped up the space and power contracts.

You can buy all the GPUs you can possibly find. If you want to deploy 10MW+, it just doesn't exist.

These things need redundant power/cooling, real data centers, and can't just be put into chicken farms. Anything less than 10MW isn't enough compute now either for large scale training and you can't spread it across data centers because all the data needs to be in one place.

So yea... good luck.

With things like solar and wind installs becoming more off-the-shelf, is there any path there? What does 10MW of solar/wind look like? Are we talking the size of a big ranch or the size of a small county?

>>vorpal+Vi1
10MW of wind is a serious installation with dozens of wind turbines, if I recall correctly.

>>ekianj+tk1
A single wind turbine is typically ~3 MW max output with an average output a little less than half that.

>>slavik+hm1
That's only on paper. In reality its much less than that in output.
