minus-squarefallaciousBasis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down4·1 day agoYou really don’t seem particularly bright. So I did the math, just to double check. A 1 gigawatt datacenter radiating at 100C would need a square kilometer in radiator surface area to sufficiently reject/emit the heat. But then you need energy. With solar panels you’d need 2-3 sq km to sustain 1 GW. So… The math checks out. I don’t understand your arguments from ignorance.
