“The project is crucial for helping the state meet a deluge of new electricity demand, as Virginia is at the center of the nationwide boom in data-center construction.”
And offline in 1 week when the orange orangutan orders it to be shut down.
To protect from the gay cancer wind they produce, I assume.

So it will do absolutely nothing to reduce fossil fuel usage?
It’ll reduce fossil fuel use that otherwise would’ve been used to power that place, but sounds like it won’t be a net reduction in emissions. Better than an increase, and if the AI bubble pops, perhaps it will be able to reduce emissions after all, if the datacenters are shut down.
I understand that. Unfortunately, we are at a point in time, where a net reduction is extremely necessary. But yes, the problem is not the wind farm. The problem is the ai bubble.
The nice thing is this will crush fossil energy out of the market when or if the ai bubble pops. Because the marginal cost of solar is near zero, and this will be the price of electricity if oversupply happens.
Excellent now we can recharge more Teslas…
Lmao nah
