It is hard to get your head around how stupendously large an electricity user a 2-5 gigawatt data center represents. A 5 gigawatt data center consumes on the order of 40 million megawatt-hours of electricity per year, as much electricity as the ENTIRE STATE of Nevada or Kansas!
"We project that 2GW and 5GW data centers will be needed to develop single advanced AI models for Anthropic in 2027 and 2028, respectively. With several other U.S. companies developing frontier AI models, we expect total frontier AI training demands in America to reach 20-25GW in…

As a 5th grade math teacher, I don't teach PEMDAS—"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". We don't know what microaggression your "dear" aunt committed, but we DO know "excuse" is just "enable" in the language of the oppressor. So I teach *PEMDAS*—"Please EDUCATE My Dear Aunt Sally".
