Protests mounting ahead construction of massive hyperscale facility in Cape Town

[rustypup]

We don't want massive data centres here

Whaaaaaa!

Almost 200MW, are you ****ing insane?!

Ignorance is a super power!! Whaaaa!

Of course you don't want a debate. That's *really* obvious.....

 

[purrr]

I'll support the protest and any court action. Good luck.

You know what they say about opinions?

Some are informed and some are garbage?

Whoever coined the term "Fighting like cat and dog", you'd love this!

Did not have any direct, personal, experience of either animal?

People living in a poor country, up in arms when a company finally invests here.


Beggars that want to be choosers.

You sure about that?

As for the local component, they couldn't even raise R200k in a year, only R45k (after a R40k anonymous donation). So, very popular.

Represented by the LRC.

1 + 1 = 11.

Life is a mystery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not like we have a water crisis in the country or anything, yeah use up the 12 million litres of water per day, no problem...

 

[rustypup]

use up the 12 million litres of water per day, no problem.

Are you... feeling OK?

Please correct my maths if wrong, but Teraco operates at 0.1 water per kwh on their closed loop cooling system.

174 MW = 174 000 KW
174 000 KW @ 0.1l/kwh = 17 400l/hour so 417 600 liters of water per day, if they are running flat taps 24/7.

So where does the 12.05 million liters/day come from? Per day meant to be per month?

Open cycle cooling, because its cheaper

Utter clowns always wanna be stuck in the middle ages.

These Foxglove people obviously paid the “protestors” to stand there with those signs written by Foxglove.

Bet these protesters can’t describe what a data centre even is.

What data will be stored there?

Your data.

For what purpose?

 

[hj007]

We also have rent a crowd and fake protestors up here against the oil companies amd banks, so makes sense we'd have them on water for AI

 

[HermeticAnarchist]

Sarah Connor watching everyone cheer for data centres.

You seem as bright as the fake protesters.

Because I don't see things your way?

Apologies. To the fake protestors. They are brighter.
