Proposed data centre would use energy equal to 23 Hiroshima bombs a day
Original: Proposed data centre will release 23 Hiroshima atomic bomb worth of energy a day
A proposed data centre is projected to consume an enormous amount of electricity — reportedly equivalent to the energy released by 23 Hiroshima atomic bombs every day. The comparison, highlighted in Canadian media coverage, has drawn attention to the rapidly growing power demands of large-scale computing facilities, particularly those serving artificial intelligence workloads. Critics are questioning whether such energy-intensive projects can be justified, and how grids will cope.
Why now: Concerns over the soaring energy consumption of data centres, especially for AI, are a hot topic
